What is your favorite everyday training shoe right now?

I have on old pair of Adidas Adizero Tempo 3s - perfect shoe and of course I don't like the 4.

Asics Skyspeed 2 is ok, not great.

#1 Mizuno Wave Ronin

distant #2 and #3 New Balance 1400s and 101s

#4 Brooks Green Silence

DS Trainer 16 is what I use everyday. The 15 was better.

Barefoot

Luna sandals

homemade bicycle tire sandals. mtb for trails.

I run about 35 miles barefoot and 20-30 with foot protection weekly. I generally do my long run and tempo runs barefoot, and some speedwork. I wear foot protection for recovery runs and some easy runs.

Lunaracer.

Brooks Launch.

NB 890.

Green Silence for speed days.

1400's in the wings.

Nike Zoom Streak XC 3. They're good shoes, but the upper starts tearing at 300 miles.

Next shoes will probably be the Free 3.0 v3.

I am shocked at how many of you train in racing flats... It would be interesting to see what the minimalist type people have run for 5k PRs... Not to knock y'all but, I'm thinking those PRs will be on the slow side.

Love and respect-

Yeah I'm currently training in the lunaracers and like them.

1. Brooks Green Silence

2. Brooks Launch (don't like as well as the Green Silence but nice when my feet are tired)

3. Saucony Peregrine for trails.

Why do you think that? My PR's only 15:30 (hopefully sub-15 this spring), but I've run with plenty of 14:20-40 guys who train in flats.

I've run as fast you... It's a long way to sub 15 from here though... Good times though.

Mizuno Wave Enigma and I still have some miles left on an old pair of Wave Rider 13s (will probably buy the 15s when those wear out).

New Balance 890's. Flexible and light. The best NB trainer in years.

agree, if they dropped the heal a little, it would be perfect.

Saucony Guides

Agree on the 890, I actually saw a few bad reviews of this and I can't see why at all, it is light years better than the clumpy heavy monstrosities that are the lunar line. I can do everything in them but race, wish they'd bring out a trail version. looking forward to trying the V2.

How does the first Skyspeed (what I'm in now) compare? I like them. I know the asymmetrical lacing is a little weird but are the Skyspeed 2 different? The "1" is only $50 on running warehouse and I'm tempted to buy third pair.
