Anyone got any suggestions?
super nova cushion has some good flex and is neutral.
Yes, Supernova Cushion, Brooks Defyance, Saucony ProGrid Ride, Asics Gel Cumulus or Gel Landreth.
The new Brooks Ghost. If you are a forefoot striker then you should like this shoe.
any other suggestions?
Try the Asics Gel-Stratus. Extremely flexible forefoot, lightweight, but still considered an everyday trainer
Brooks Defyance all the way.
I suggest you spell my name correctly. You've seen what I can do to people.
What about the Mizuno Wave Rider 12
+1 on the Stratus. Has to be the best kept secret in a cushioned neutral trainer with the flex of a high-end light trainer. If they lowered the heel a tad it would be the perfect plodder.
The Puma Eutopia has about the most flexible forefoot out there. You should try it on up against the shoes mentioned above.

Anyone wear these? How is the cushioning and durability?

Cushioning is great although with the increased flexibility and low-profile build there is more "road feel" versus other bulked-up options out there. Durability is good although it might fall on the lower end of the classic 400-600 mile spectrum.

How is sizing in the shoes versus Nike or Asics? (i.e. if I wear a 9.5 in Nike or Asics how does that compare to the Puma?)
Puma generally run a little smaller than most brands. They have a narrow toebox. If you're a 9.5, try a 9.5, but you might have to go up to a 10.
As for a neutral shoe with with flexible forefoot (and not a lightweight trainer), the Nike Pegasus might be the best thing out there.
second the brooks ghost. amazing shoe.
Anyone wearing the Mizuno Wave Rider 12
Not me, but does anyone wear the Saucony Progrid Ride.
Nike Lunar Trainer is by far the best shoe in this category. Try them, you'll thank me.
I wear the Mizune Wave Rider 12. I alternate between those, Mizuno Precisions, and Nike Lunar Racers. The Rider is my favorite shoe for those easy long runs. Decently flexible, light, but cushioned enough to hold up for 6-700 miles.
