I just got the Adidas AdiZero RC this week and I LOVE them. Before I was in the Mizuno Idaten for several months.

Asics 2110, over 6 months maybe, but in the last month or two i've started a transition to minimalism and i'm using Saucony Bullets (which, unfortunately have a real clumsy heel IMO) and some XC flats

I tried the Adizero RC's once and found them to be nothing more than a cheaper, not-as-well made clone of the Adizero Pro. You might want to pick up a pair - I'm guessing you will like them a lot more.
Oh I agree. I want the Pro, but these were on sale.

Yep... they aren't as minimal as the H-Streets and plenty of people train in those. Also have a pair of AdiZero PRs that I train in (with shoe goo on the bottoms).
Im about to start training in those. What do you use the shoe goo for?

Yeah but if the RC DC is much cheaper, and possibly more durable, it might make a better training shoe.

I only use the shoe goo on the PRs. I coat the outsoles to get more life out of them.

I thought so too, and bought a pair. They just aren't quite the same. They look very similar, but they really are not in crucial ways that I can't quite put into words. It's readily apparent, though. The soles are pretty well identical, so the wear would more than likely be the same. The main difference is the RC's have a very, very slightly higher heel - about 3mm, and they are missing a midsole component in the area that other shoes are posted - it's not a post - it's a little flexible section of a different material that is absent on the RC's. Perhaps this is something I can feel (and preferred) when I run. The stitching on the upper of the RC's seems more suspect as well. It's too bad, because I pay anywhere from $80 - $100 for the Pros and the RC's are $59 - another indicator that the shoes aren't the same. I guess you get what you pay for.
I got a pair of Pegasus Clima Fit that feel really good. For faster runs I use the Zoom Elite 3 or the Skylon. Got a pair of Jasari Plus which are pretty good training on the track or longer road races. Very neutral and narrow but good cushioning. I am trying to like a pair of structure triax 10 but they are almost like the old Brooks varus wedge in terms of the anti pronation built into them.
New Balance 825 - absolutely love them. Haven't tried the updated version - the 826 yet, but I've heard its very similar (slightly narrower toe box).

Hey, thanks for the writeup. Might pick up a pair of the Pro's for my next pair.

They're very hard to find.
Mizuno Wave Alchemy series...about 4 years.
Just picked up a pair of the Saucony Grid Trigon 5's. Felt good in the store, so we'll see how they feel on the road. I have 60 days to return them for a refund or exchange if I don't end up liking them. Previously, I've used the Mizuno Wave Inspire and the Nike Elite, both of which are awesome shoes.
Was in the Nike Vomero II; in the Equalon right now (hey, they were free). Tried the Brooks Beast (they were free as well)--hated them. Gonna try and scrounge up more Vomeros!
Definitely the newest ASICS Cumulus or ASICS Nimbus!!! WHat's up with all the light shoes...??? INJURY!!!

Again, not true. I won't debate about how "well made" they are (not sure what your measure is of that anyway) but they are a distinctly DIFFERENT shoe from the Pros. They have more forefoot cushioning than the Pro. In fact they have more cushioning in general.
Rotterdam- What size Rotterdam's do you wear?? I have some brand new 9's and 9.5's.
