I have yet to find a shoe that i like and doesnt cause me any problems... I was thinking of trying a nike. Ive tried so many in the past...Brooks adrenaline, mizuno wave rider, new balance 760s and 1906s.... I am a petite female looking for a light shoe. Any suggestions?
I'd like to help .
Lunar Swift maybe? Pegasus is a little lighter as well, but certainly not a "lightweight" compared to others.
Go get fit for a pair of shoes.
The Adrenalines and 760's are both very far from "neutral"- I'd have a trained person take a look and make some recommendations
Pegasus have a huge toe box, my feet felt like they flopping around in them. I really like my lunar racers and lunar trainer, I have one racer and 2 trainers. I used to get Road Explosion II but they aren't made anymore so I'm in the lunars. The racers are great for races, I used mine for a full marathon with no problems.
The old Skylon would have been a good fit for you, but Nike inexplicably stopped making it...
Try the Asics DS racer or DS Skyspeed, Pearl Izumi Fuel, Nike LunarElite, or LunarRacer (the racer only if you do well in more minimal shoes).
I'd recommend the Nike Lunar Fly. I like them quite a bit as do a couple of female runners I know. They're light enough that they're both considering using them to race the marathon in. They are a trainer, not a racing flight, so a fair bit of support and very responsive.
Have you tried the Nike Frees?
The Brooks adrenaline is not a neutral shoe.... Maybe try the Glycerin?
you need to go to a (small) running store and talk to the folks there. they'll be able to give you some good answers.
Brooks Launch FTW!
