Does anyone have any other suggestions about a pair of lightweight trainers with a medial post, similar to the DS-Trainer? I have been wearing the DS-Trainer for the last 10 years or so and love it, and want to continue wearing it but want a complementary shoe. I've been using the Kayano for just as long but honestly at 145lbs and with the way the shoe has been going it is getting to bulky. Thanks for the advice!
Brooks Ravenna or Nike Elite
Try the Adidas Tempo 4. It's got the upper of a flat, but a good enough midsole that it has the lifespan of a trainer.
Saucony Progrid Mirage
someone has already mentioned the brooks ravenna. You mentioned the kayano is getting too bulky for you. You might wanna try the brooks trance, the saucony pro guide, or if you want to stay in with asics the 2100 series shoes are between a kayano and ds-trainer as far as weight and stability are concerned, you might wanna try the mizuno wave inspire as well. You always have to consider the brooks adrenaline series shoe when talking about a good stability shoe.

The Trance, Guide, and 2000 series are all regular trainers.
Also, the Adrenaline is about 50x too stable, assuming he's correctly fitted in a DS Trainer.
thanks for the replies...I've been running a long time, but not at a high level for a while. One things I am sure of the kind of shoes I need, and I need a medial post of some sort even with my orthotics (which are mild).
I found this shoe yesterday during my research, I think I am going to try it out!

You might also try the Mizuno Elixir as well. I thought that was the closest thing to the DS Trainer that I have found. I did think that the Ravenna was a good substitute as well.
