Is anyone else unimpressed by the currently available trainers?

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

I'm looking to make a switch from the Mizuno Wave Riders I've been using the past couple years. I can't seem to find anything compelling to move to.

Nike's marketing got me interested in the Free and the idea of running "naked" or "barefoot" or something until 2 customers and an employee of the running shoe store told me they suck.

Asics has so many choices I don't know what to choose and wonder why they don't make fewer, better models. The DS Trainers look OK but the models I've used in the past didn't last very long.

I haven't seen any good reviews for the current crop of Sauconys.

NB and Adidas both seem un-necessarily stiff in the forefoot.

What's a guy to do?

Anyone with the same opinion and/or suggestions?

I don't think you should change shoes just for the sake of changing shoes. Stick with what works.

I second the comment about changing. If it ain't broke...

If, on the other hand, you're having trouble finding those mizuno's or they're being discontinued, just try on as many shoes as you can. You can't go by reviews. Find the shoe that fits YOU.
