Fresh Foam X 880 v14

For me its about having balanced cushioning. - too much = instability = shin splints - not enough = worse blisters - too narrow = foot pain That leaves me with brooks ghost and new balance 880 v14 Adidas, nike, puma all too narrow. Most overs not wide enough or too cushioned  Barefoot shoes are ok but I wouldn"t do long distance in them unless on grass

Hey all, I have run into an issue where almost all of my lower stack or more agile trainers have been pushed out of my rotation and I am essentially running all my daily mileage or non-workout miles in either the Vomero Plus or Neo Zen. Could anyone recommend some lower stack, more "ground feel" trainers that can still get the job done? I am running into recurring post tib pain and calf pain and am starting to suspect the massive shoes are part of the issue. I had good experiences with the adidas SL2 and the no-nonsense NB 880 v14. I am just looking for a comprehensive list of "stupid trainers" to serve as a counterbalance to the influx of max stack "super trainers" currently on market. I am currently considering either the Kinvara 16 or Ride 19 just because I think Saucony does normal trainers pretty well but I could use more input. I am M30/6'0"/150lb if that factors into the feedback at all.

I had both 880s 14 and 15. I'd say the upper on the 15 feels more plush, but they're pretty much the same shoe

How do these differ from the 880v14, they’re some of my favorites, and 1080v14, which I didn’t really care for

From my summer marathon training effort. NB 880 V14 351 miles - easy day trainer NB 1080 V13 107 miles - super soft (too soft) recovery day Saucony Triumph 21 521 miles - long run shoe. Favorite shoe of the year. Apparently they changed the new versions, otherwise I'd buy again. Saucony Endorphin Pro 320 miles - previous racing shoe down graded to tempo runs. Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 86 miles - race day shoe Plus a handful of miles on the NB supercomp 1 and NB Rebel. The supercomp sole is worn thin with 470 miles. I need to throw these out, but I keep saying I can get one more run. I don't like the Rebel, too heavy for speed, not enough cushion for easy days.

I've had many pairs of 880. They are such a work horse. All of them have gone for 500+ miles, up to 700+ for some of the newer versions.

Every brand of running shoe will have a daily trainer for about $140: New Balance 880, Saucony Ride, ASICS Novablast, Brooks Ghost. They will also have a max cushion shoe for $180: NB 1080, Saucony Triumph. Do go to a running store and try a few on and get the size right. After that, buy last year's model for 30 percent off online.
