For me:
Nike Zoom Fly 3
I don’t know how anyone runs in this shoe.

I got some Adidas Boston shoes and they're too tight and stupid.
ASICS DS Trainer 25. I threw out the box , so couldn't return it.
Saucony Kinvara. It's mostly my fault though, just a little too minimal for my liking. I replaced with the Asics Nimbus Lite which was a massive upgrade for me.
No bad ones for me. Brooks (Adrenaline and Ghost) have gotten it done.
You guys purchase shoes? Ha. Bunch of damn hobby joggers, I tell ya.
You run barefoot?You must have strong feet...
Saucony Fastwitch 9. Terrible update of what used to be a great shoe

I wear Brooks more than anything else but that is an interesting combo wearing both neutral and stability.
NB 1080v10. This shoe brought me into an injury cycle I’m still trying to get out of. Threw them away after 4 months of use.
Nike Peg 37. Hard, stiff, and just not comfortable. Way to ruin a shoe, Nike. After a lot of looking around, managed to find 2 pairs of 36s in my size.
I’m sure some people may love the above-mentioned shoes, but they didn’t work for me.
I am in the 1080 v10 right now after 3 successful pairs of ghosts in a row. I only have about 30 miles on them so far. they feel ... okay (?). I liked the Ghosts better - something about the lacing on the 1080 ... i just don't like it - no matter if I lace it tight or loosen it up, there always seems to be a place along the laces that's tighter than the rest of the shoe, causing a bit of top-of-the-foot pain only in that area. It's not terrible, and I'm going to play with the laces more to try to get it right. The foam feels good on my knees and seems to save my legs during longer runs and it's light and very cushy.

You really are stupid, aren’t you? I like how you use misdirection like your buddy David.

The midsole in the 1080v10 actually feels nice, but for me, the combination of softness, stack height, and knit upper must have overwhelmed my ankles/feet. I had previously trained mostly in Pegs and Streaks, while doing workouts in spikes twice a week (summer track). Very different shoes! You’re right about the lacing on the 1080... for me there was a razor-thin margin between too tight and too loose. Medium-thickness socks helped a bit out by at least making the heel more comfortable.
I bought the Brooks Hyperion Tempo this year and I hate them.
Weird, I just got them and they are my favorite right now
Ditto on the zoom fly 3s. Gave them away after 20mi and felt bad about it. Also tried the brooks levitate for some dumb reason which did the complete opposite of their namesake

Hoes mad ?
Nike Gravity
Arc’teryx Norvan LD 2 - instant Achilles tendonitis
Not a bad shoe to wear with jeans around town though if you’re not paying full retail.
The Ghost was a bit of a flier for me (saw a good deal on them and took a chance). Adrenaline is more of my go to shoe.
