I was just wondering which of these shoes would be better for my neutral forefoot strike. I have used the Saucony Kinvara 4 and the Brooks Ghost 6 and i really like them both. I just want everyone's opinion on which shoe has the best type of cushioning and ride for high mileage and my neutral forefoot strike. I am 5'11, 142 lbs and i'm running 60-70 mpw. Thanks.
For a forefoot strike I wouldn't go with the Pegasus as its main cushioning component is located in the heel. The Nike elite has its cushioning in the forefoot and would probably be a better option as far as Nike is concerned (unless you want cushion in both the heel and forefoot in which you could go with the vomero). The ride would probably be great as well as you say you liked the kinvara and ghost. Go to a running store and try a couple on.
thanks, anyone else?
Both of these shoes update on June 1, wait a couple of weeks!
The Ride 7's are awesome, but I would definitely go with the Pegasus 31's, especially based on price/performance ratio.
The Ride 7's are some of the best reviewed neutral trainers you can buy. Just look at the aggegated reviews here:

That said, they are not that much better than the Pegasus 31 to justify buying them over the Pegasus 31's or even the Ghost 6's (which i bought heavily discounted a few months ago, and love). My wife owns both and she actually prefers the Pegasus 31. The Pegasus are better looking. The Ride 7's definitely have more "tech" built into them. I own both Pegasus 31 and Ghost 6, and it's quite honestly a draw. I rotate between them to keep my feet in shape.
Considering the $110 price tag for the Ride 7's and the fact that Pegasus 31's are now selling for as low as $65-75 since they've been out longer, I'd definitely go with the Pegasus 31's.

Second on the ghost 6 option. Fantastic shoes, and you can get me for like 60 bucks now
The Pegasus would be most similar to the Kinvara 4. The Ride (great shoe) is a little wider and might feel just a little bulkier.
All things considered, the Pegasus has that lower price point so go with it.
