Have you compared all of them? I have the Brooks and like them, but the upper is a bit too much and I sometimes get blisters under the arch when wearing rough socks. Never tried the Pumas yet but really want to. The Nikes felt really comfy but since they felt a tiny bit aggressive under the arch I didn't risk to keep them. (Had issues with Nike Structure 25 which has even more aggressive arch support).
I tried Saucony Tempus 1 but immediately got blisters under my arch due to the high and dense arch support. Just for OP to know, in case he also has issues there. Had the same problems with Nike Structure 25 and earlier models of the GT2000 (years ago! In an Asics store they told me, that they don't use those kind of arch support anymore und the current Kayano feel fine for me)
I run almost the same as you — massive pronation and feet pointed outwards owing to my high arches (hollow foot). Used to find some comfort in stability shoes (Nike Structure 25, ON Cloudrunner 2) but these aren’t really fast and I don’t get anywhere near my goals. Pulled the trigger on Evo SL’s recently and this was where I noticed how much my feet really pronate, and after running with the Evo SL’s I found that my ankles hurt post-run which I didn’t experience with my aforementioned stability shoes. I brought this up to a physical therapist friend and she recommended that I do exercises to strengthen my feet muscles first before buying shoes/insoles as these new shoes/insoles would basically be useless with my weak intrinsic muscles. The exercises included heel and toe raises, towel crunches, and forward/lateral lunges. Haven’t been able to run again for a few weeks but I have been doing these exercises twice a day. Hope this helps!
Love the structures! I have 330+ miles on my 25s and I could maybe squeeze some more out of them.
I mean they're cushioned enough, but I tend to pull other shoes when I'm running >1hr on pavement. I do not have flat feet, so can't speak on how they'd work for that. They also aren't particularly "fast" shoes, so may not be great for races themselves, but are great trainers!
I am your size. I’ve gotten 243 out of a pair of Clifton 9s…they feel OK but closer to done than not. 194 on NB5s - they feel about dead…idk if I’ll run in them again. Have structure 25s w ~100 miles on them and they’ve been amazing thus far.
For me the Clifton is the all around best shoe for anything. I tried the bondi’s those are unstable in certain situations. My favorite hoka is the speedgoat 6 and I know everyone hates this shoe. Going from a flat sneaker to something like a hoka shoe will be an adjustment period. If you need something with a lower back try Nike structure 25 it’s a fantastic shoe.
nike air structures work great for me.. i have slight over pronation in left foot and also tore my meniscus 6 months ago, they've been the perfect shoes - having had the 23s and now 25s
Nike structure wide Brooks glycerin wide or extra wide If you’re into trail running Altra lone peaks These are my favorite as someone that’s a 9.5 women wide.
I wear Men’s Structure - they are wider than women’s and fit me well!
I regularly see Nike Structure for 70-80, good stability so perfect for getting back into it
