Shoe question?

on a scale 1-10 for support pegasus is that bottom end 1-3 so in New balance i'd go the 767 which is 3-4 and in mizuno the nexus which is 3-4.

Saucony Hurricane 9. Or Mizuno Alchemy. Or Brooks Addiction. NB 767. I've worn them all and all are good: Hurricanes a bit cushy, Alchemy a bit firm and fast, Addiction stable and firm and 767 a tad soft yet fast. My thoughts are for mod pronation and light weight runner go with either Alchemy or NB 767.

Some skeptical advice there, but if you have worn the Pegasus, are coming back from injury and slightly pronate, I would recommend the following shoes:

Brooks Axiom 2

Mizuno Inspire 3

New Balance 767

Nike Air Structure Triax 10

Saucony ProGrid Guide 3

Get back to me after you've compared 'em all...

No, I am not coming back from injury. After my last year of eligibility I just gave up running. I have run probably 20 times in the last 13 months. I just want to get back into shape to start racing 5ks again. I was just curious about different brands of shoes that I could try and resembled the Pegasus.

mizuno inspire, nike air span 4, nb 767, saucony guide

I've had Mizuno wave riders for about 4 years now, and i just switched over to the brooks axiom 2's which are very light weight but still have good structure. I really recomend these 2 pairs of shoes to anyone.

the pegasus' you are referring to are the ones before they made the crappy revisions. they were the soft, bulky pegasus'. try the brooks glycerin, NB 1061, Rider, Landreth or Nimbus. if you are a slight pronator and wish to stay in the neutral area, then the 1061 and the glycerin are good choices bc they have inherent stability where the others dont. you could also try something in the moderate stability area such as the brooks adrenaline, mizuno inspire, 2120, NB767 or anything else in the mid range stability category. go to your local specialty shop and let them see what they think.

have a good one.

See, I use to work at a running store about 9 years ago, so in a sense I know what to look for. The problem is the fact that I live in the middle of no where. I have to drive like an hour before I can get to an actually running store. I plan to do that at sometime. I just wanted to know some opinions and thoughts about shoes.

If your shoes never caused an injury then Do not change them.

What shoe is close to the Pegasus?

Asics Gel Landreth

Mizuno Precision/Rider

Brooks Glycerin

Adidas adistar Cushion

New Balance 755

thats a ton of mixed advice, if your looking for a shoe like the pegasus the poster above is right on, but if you pronate slightly then a neutral shoe is not what your looking for. Another poster further up was much closer, Nike Air Structure Triax ( i generally never recommend Nike shoes, but if you are used to the feel of them then sometimes thats a comfort thats hard to break) but if you considering mizuno the Wave Inspire would be an excellent choice, very lightweight and a good amount of cushioning, although mizuno tend to run a bit narrow, again like nike. The NB 767 would work, I would worry it might be to much support and NB has a very different feel than the shoes your used to. As far as Brooks go, the Axiom 2 would be an excellent choice, its very lightweight and I am guessing would have an appropriate amount of support for what your looking for.

So my overall recommendation is the Mizuno Wave Inspire.

Yea, during my time with the pegasus I never really got injured to much besides some shin splints and some knee pains. I just know that there are better shoes out there and I was wondering what they were.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Read the initial post - none of these shoes match up for his profile. Certainly not the Hurricane, Alchemy or Addiction - arguably the 767 would be passable.

I have actually thought about getting the 767. I use to run in the NB 830's, but when I started college and started running more mileage I got shin splints. I can also get the 767's cheap from my coach, because the year after I left we got sponsored by NB.
