Fresh Foam X 860v14

I think it’s all dependent on personal preference. I tend to like a little bit more cushioning and moderate support and i pronate a bit. I’m using the NB 860 v14 and they’ve been great. I’ve also just picked up the Puma Magmax 2 and put in some mild support insoles. They’ve been great. Very cushioned and provide enough cushioning for me knees. I would suggest going to a specialty store and try them all on.

I think it depends on which model. I’ve compared NB 860v14 in 2E and 4E side by side and the 4E does have a wider sole.

love my new balance 860v14’s. they are just about cooked though and I tried on the 860v15 and it is so heavy i am looking for a suitable replacement. considering the vomero plus

I use the Genesis for trails (great shoe) and the Kayano 32 for some easy recovery runs. I have used the NB860v14 but found it kinda clunky and slow. I would suggest trying the Salomon Aero Glide 3 or 4 (3 is on sale if you can find it). They have the same midsole/outsole, just an updated upper on the 4. It's listed as a neutral shoe but it definitely has some stability to resist over-pronation. I use it for all structured workouts and long runs but could use it every day. It's much lighter and snappier, with great energy return compared to the NB860, GT-4000, or Kayano. I also use the Brooks Glycerin Max for easy runs and really like it - very, very smooth heel-to-toe transition with elements that make it feel stable.

I've said this many times, but for heavy runners like ourselves you HAVE to go get your feet/running form analyzed to see if you need supportive shoes and insoles and to see what shoes work best for you. It's worth the trip. Otherwise you'll greatly risk injuring yourself. That being said, after multiple analysis, I ended up buying New Balance 860v14s (I actually now own 4 pairs of them) and supportive insoles. These shoes and insoles completely fixed my posterior shin splints. The v15s are probably okay as well, but they felt too squishy for me so I went with the 14s. 6' 190lbs (was 205lbs at the time of getting the shoes)
