Ohhhh how I feel this pain. If you haven’t already found a suitable compatible shoe… here are a few. ASICS GEL-Kayano (31/32), Saucony Guide (17/18), New Balance 860 (v14), and Hoka Arahi (7) **ASICS GEL-Kayano (31/32): Often compared for max cushion stability, great for overpronation. **Saucony Guide (17/18): A popular switch for a softer, still supportive feel, good for longer runs. **New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 (v14): A classic stability counterpart, offering reliable support. **Hoka Arahi (7): Similar support but with a different feel due to Hoka's cushioning and J-Frame technology (less intrusive support). SUPPOSEDLY…. (Saw this online) copied and pasted Brooks Glycerin GTS: If you want more cushion but the same support (GuideRails), try the Glycerin GTS.
100% agree. I’m using the Guide series for about 6-7 years for almost everything except for fast runs and races. Endorphin Speed is great for thise runs where I need speed (intervals, threshold, races).
If you want something that lasts and is worth the money, look at the Saucony Ride or Guide series. Most "hyped" Running shoes use soft foams that bottom out after 200 miles, but Saucony tends to use slightly firmer, more resilient materials that hold their shape for a long time. Don't buy into the expensive carbon-plated trends yet; just get a solid daily trainer.
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.
Not being silly! The brooks adrenaline 24 also gave me such bad blisters on my arches. I wear the saucony endorphin speed 4s on my tempo and track days which is a “neutral” shoe and have zero issues. And I severely overpronate, my ankles roll in quite a bit. I will say on easy days I do use a stability shoe, the saucony guides. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve put on and I don’t think the stability is super aggressive. I searched high and low for another pair of 17s to have in hand. Love them!
Try saucony guide. I find there’s not much arch poking up and it’s a wide and foamy shoe at the base so it correct pronation that way. More of a neutral stable shoe Most comfortable stability shoe I’ve found and I have really bad over pronation. Was wearing the brooks adrenaline 24 previously and got horrid blisters on my arch. No blisters with saucony
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.
Saucony Ride comes in wide or if you need mild stability, Saucony Guide (also comes in wide). Both shoes aren’t trendy but solid trainers. Both are firmer feeling than the nimbus but I generally think this is a good thing for young runners.
Ok that's what I ended up with after a long similar search. Saucony Guide was always my go-to for wide stability running, but they messed up that model sadly. Hoka Arahi or maybe something from Mizuno in wide?
Yes! But understand your running gate first. Note that there are various sites with great specials on shoes especially some older models. I, as an example, need a stability shoe and my go to shoe is Brooks Adrenaline GTS. If I go onto their website now they will have the latest and the previous year's model at a lower price. I've also recently purchase a pair of Saucony Guide runners and I'm supper impressed with it. I'm a huge Hoka fan but unfortunately my need for stability leans more towards what Brooks can offer me. I've also spent a few years in the the nike Zoom Structures which wasn't bad at all. I'm not a cloud fan, find them very hard but some people love them. Asics is neither good or bad - just not the brand I'll got to for stability. Happy Miles in your new journey!
Something like Brooks Adrenaline, ASICS Gel-Kayano or Saucony Guide usually works well. they’re not race shoes or anything but they give your feet some support for treadmill runs and daily steps. you could also just stick with your current shoes and add a good [arch support insole]( https://dk5cnflyn7mcb.cloudfront.net/?q=GMKAO4197). it can make a huge difference without having to buy new shoes.
