Asics Gel-Landreth 7 replacement

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

9 years ago 04/17/2015 8:13pm EDT

I have been running for years in the Asics Gel-Landreth 7. When they discontinued the shoe I bought all the ones that I could find. I am down to my last two pairs and really want to find a new shoe that I love just as much. The Cumulus is too narrow for my foot and just not comfortable to me. The Nimbus are okay but too heavy and high profile for me. I have been looking into Altra Intuitions (which are nice for my slightly wider foot), the new Nimbus 17s, and the Brooks Defyance 8. Does anyone have any other suggestions.... especially ones that don't break the bank since I'm currently a poor newly married college student? Thanks!

Asics Gel-Pursue, it's essentially a newer version of the Landreth.

To get technical: the Landreth was just a non-posted version of the GT-2000 series. The Landreth was discontinued, but last summer Asics brought back a new non-posted GT-2000 and called it the Pursue.

Also, the Brooks Defyance could work. It's a bit wider than the Pursue in my opinion, but made in the same way: non-posted version of a popular stability shoe (Brooks Adrenaline GTS)

Might be a bit softer/cushier too.

Not sure if anyone will see me resurrecting this ancient post, but I'm long overdue at replacing my Landreth 7s and wanted to know what you went for/have found as a good replcement?

My foot is a little wide, so room in the forefoot is needed, and I really love the comfort and responsiveness of the Landreth 7.

Asics Cumulus 22.

These are on the firmer side...your local run shop will have them and you could try them on(curbside)

When the Landreth was out Nike Pegasus was a downgrade now I don't think you can say that with Pegasus 36 and I believe it's on sale. However you can't judge at initial try on as it has a snugger arch (loosens after 20 miles) the heel slips but eventually molds to heel. Pegasus 36 are wider and after 20miles feel like a higher volume shoe...
