Right now i train in the Asics Tiger Paw and i love it. Since its hard to find in my size (11) i was wondering what you guys know about the speedstar, the mizuno wave aero 3 and the asics hyperspeed. also if you know anything about the brooks racer st, that'd help.
i love the weight of the tiger paw, and i want a show thats pretty close in weight.
so if you guys know the sizing or have any reviews on the shoes i mentioned, that'd be great.
thank you
I just bought a pair of the Racer St's, which kind of surprised me, since I'm a pretty neutral runner. I just thought that I'd be better off with a shoe that had a bit mre substance than the T4, which was my other choice. I've only had one workout in them, but they're really not bad. I'm sure that they'll feel like bricks compared to the other shoes that you're looking at.
Have not tried them, but maybe Asics GEL-Hyper Speed? According to Holabird, these shoes replace the Gel-Tiger Paws which I also like by the way.
According to this site, size 11 Paws are still available.

I have alternated between the Tiger Paw and the Mizuno Wave Aero. The Tiger Paw is a bit more flexible, but the Wave Aero is very comparable.
much different than the Paw.... much wider forefoot, much thicker midsole, Gel in forefoot and heel, much softer feel, much more porous upper
above poster has it right - Hyperspeed is the new Paw
Why can't they leave a good shoe alone?
I loved the Tiger Paw and tried the new Hyper Speed and it just wasn't working for me. They may call it a replacement for the Tiger Paw, but its a totally different shoe. Its a bit lighter, but it feels like there is no forefoot cushioning....my feet have that feeling (and sound) like they are slapping on pavement. I gave up after 3 runs and am now looking for an alternative.
