So I'm in Asics 2140's right now, and they are decent, but I am a pretty light guy (130), and would like to move to a lighter shoe. I pronate a very small amount. What would you all recommend? Mizuno, Nike, and Brooks are preferable because my local running store carries these, but I'm happy to hear about any brand.
Thanks for anyone who helps!
The Asics DS trainers are lighter-about 11 oz, the New Balance 904s are also a light weight trainer, also look into the Brooks Ravenna.
Great i'll look into all of those. I was also looking at the Mizuno Wave Elixir. Anyone have any opinion on those?
Thanks

Thanks for all the help! I'm definitely going to look at all of these shoes, and look forward to no longer carrying 400 lb boards on my feet.
I used to run in Asics and then switched to Newton Racers and the Nike Lunars as a back up (the pair has lasted 6 months now). The Newtons are really good and light, especially if you don't have to run on anything slippery.
ASICS Banditos are some of the best shoes that have ever touched my feet.
Try the Nike Zoom Elite.
I used to run in the 2140s bu ttried the ds trainers. feeel pretty different youre on your toes more, calf a bit sore but its not bad (only been 4 days) i just jumped right in to running regularly wasnt bad. I guess depends on your mechanics.
Adizero pro is an awesome shoe. No posting, but that shouldn't matter for you.

I have worn a couple generations of the Wave Elixer. Best pair of training shoes I have worn in a while(Although I only wear Mizunos). My only grievance is the forefoot part of sole has rubber pimple things for tread. Once they wear down, there is a thin layer of felt then soft material, so you might lose some traction. Eastbay is selling them now for $85 on sale.The older versions did not have that sole feature, so if you can somehow find an older pair in your size, I recommend those first. My current pair has close to 400 miles on them, and I probably need to invest in new ones.
Running Warehouse gets them to my door for $73.
I recently bought the Brooks Launch and Racer ST.
These are light shoes.
awesome, too many things to choose from now

What is the most stupid running advice you've ever heard?🤣(It can be funny)
Are Asics, Saucony, and New Balance envious of Brooks, Hoka ,and On?
