860v10

Before this year I was running in a stability show New Balancea 860 v10. Since those have died and I don't actually need a stability shoe I've tried: * Hoka Mach 6 (keeping for now) * Adidas EvoSL (returned- too unstable) * Asics Novablast 5 (returned- too plush) * New Balance Rebel v5 (returned-less stable than the Mach 6) * Asics Magic Speed (untested as of today) * Adidas Boston 13 (testing) * Brooks Hyperion Max 3 (untested as of today) * Saucony Endorphin Speed (untested as of today) Shoe "science" has changed since the early 2000s. It looks like more shoe are leaning towards having some degree of stack if only to provide a cushion for your body's longevity. Don't discount the New Balances based on your experience from 2007, they've changed up their game too. Your best bet is to either look up "best daily trainers" on youtube to see what shoetubers are recommending, or try [runrepeat](https://runrepeat.com/catalog/running-shoes) and narrow it down to a few choices by filtering what you think you need. Then go into the store try them on and see if your body likes the geometry. Then buy and try (make sure you know exactly what the return window and policy is).

I debated this question a lot as wanted a supportive yet race day shoe. First marathon last year I did in the New Balance 860s, this year ended up going for the New Balance Supercomp Elite V4 and absolutely loved them. Went from 3:59 to 3:44

It's all trial and error. You have to find the best fit for you. I've been running on New Balance 860s for years. They're perfect. But you might hate them. I'd just go to a store and try on as many pairs as I could, then pick the one that feels best.

People can recommend shoes, but it might just be more waste of money. Shoes are not cheap. Best bet is go to a running shoe store and spend 20 minutes trying on shoes they recommend. I would do that and buy the pair there and then go online and find the previous year's model and buy that at a bigger discount. Stability with cushion would be something like Brooks Adrenaline or Glycerin or New Balance 860 or ASICS Gel-Kayano or Saucony Guide. If you are having foot pain custom insoles from a foot doctor would be the best bet. I had to do that after fracturing my foot twice.

Start with stability shoes since you have got knock knees they help control pronation. Check out ASICS Gel-Kayano, New Balance 860, or Brooks Adrenaline (all offer wide sizes and solid support). HOKA Arahi is great if you want max cushioning without losing stability. Try them on in-store late afternoon (feet swell), walk a bit and consider a firm orthotic if you need extra correction. Worth paying a bit more for fit it saves your knees and lasts longer.

If Adrenaline GTS works for you, I’d look at New Balance 860, Saucony Guide, Mizuno Wave Inspire, or Hoka Arahi as similar “daily stability” shoes that are often cheaper (especially last year’s model on sale). Also worth noting: overpronation by itself isn’t always a problem unless you’re getting pain so prioritize comfort + stable feel over “maximum correction.” I pronate a lot too… (Disclosure: I built a free shoe-compare / finder tool happy to share if you want.)

I used to run in Altra. I switched to New Balance 860's in a W fit for marathon training, and they've worn better than the Altras. I like them a lot.

Honestly you should go to a store. If you can't, new balance 860 or Saucony guides will be a solid all around comfortable shoe for many running styles and terrain and wider feet. 

New balance 1080 or 860 I’m 280lbs and they do great. Short runs I use Altra Escalante

I walk and run very differently. Walking, I heel strike, and both feet want to go left. Running, I'm forefoot, mostly of on the balls of my feet, and straighter path. I try to go with stable neutral shoes, not super squishy, not high stack. Brooks Ghost 16, for e.g. The one support shoe I' m comfortable in is the Saucony Guide (17 in this case). Asics, in general, are not great for my foot shape. I also have a New Balance 860. Some days, it wants to make my ankles roll when I go down the stairs, etc.
