Help me decide between Nike LunarGlides and the Nike Structure Triax

the lunar glides are softer then the pegs, the structures are a little more firm. that being said all 3 of these shoes are very different support levels and are going to do different things to your biomechanics. the structure is a very supportive shoe. generally if you have flat feet and overpronate a decent amount, go with those. the lunar glides kind of in the middle of the support spectrum leaning towards the neutral pegasus. if you have been injury free in the pegs, want to try something new, and are a slight over pronator, the lunar glides should be a good candidate.

If the Pegasus has been working for you, why are you switching? Do you get hurt in that shoe? Also, how did you find out you're pronating?

Why don't you try other brands? Nike is hardly innovating in their various categories, and the technical brands often have superior products.

I have. I had Saucony - dead at 300 miles. I had the Brooks Ghost - RIP at 450. I'm not sure you can consider these superior running products. I'm not even a heavy runner - and I land directly on my midfoot. Nike is the only brand that has worked for me.

Are you having any injury issues with the Pegasus?

If you have been mostly healthy but want to try something different among those three shoes, make the smaller change and go to the Glides, don't jump all the way to the structure.

The LunarEclipse 2's are sweet and I had previously been running in strictly Structures.

If you like a nice wide toe box, then you may be disappointed in the structure triax 15. I thought this was one of the narrowest toeboxes I've had in quite some time. Great in the midfoot as far as the fit is concerned.

try mizuno

Every year I go into my local running store and have them analyze my gait. I've been lucky that the last two times I've been there, their elite coach has evaluated me. He noticed that I over-pronate on my left, but not my right. The Pegasus has been a great shoe, but left ankle is starting to hurt me a little and the Pegasus, being neutral, isn't really doing it's job on the left side.

I love a soft shoe - that's why the LunarGlide appeals to me - but I'm finding the Structure really locks me in. I'm just a little skeptical of it's cushioning because it doesn't feel as soft as the Pegasus did right out of the box. Thanks for the input so far.

Maybe try adding in some kind of support in the left shoe only - super feet for example. So it doesn't feel different get a 3/4 and put it under the stock Pegasus insole.
