Lightweight nuetral trainer

I am on my second pair of Brooks Pure Flow. I really like 'em. They have far more cushion than any other shoe I've run in. Since beginning to run in them my PF has all but disappeared.

If you ease into them you should be able to adapt. They are worth a try.

New Balance 1400

New Balance 890

Tried the NB 890 and 890v2.

While i can see why people like this shoe, it was too soft and squirrely for me. I could feel the shoe compressing more in some spots than others. Not as smooth and even as Boston 2.

Tried the Pure Flow again and there were some pressure points on my foot and don't really need or want the low heel.

Sticking with the Boston 2.

The Boston 3 isn't that much different than the 2(in terms of what I feel). The material on top might be a little more stiff, but that is the only major difference I've noticed.

Anybody tried Adidas Marathon 10?

Isn't the Boston 3 only like 2mm lower than the Boston 2. That's not that much.

Can anyone say much more about the Boston 3. I have worn a couple pair of the Ghost 2, which have been discontinued for a while. And while I like them, I feel like I could find something better, slightly lower to the ground.

Right now the Boston 3 looks like the best bet for me. I've heard it's firm. How firm is it? Compared to the Ghost 2?

As long as it has decent cushioning (less than average, but not racing flat firm) then it should be good for me. Also, how do ya'll like the decoupled heel? Is it good, bad, or doesn't really make much difference?

I wish the Boston 3 were more like 8-10mm heel-toe difference, but the Boston actually looks like it has less of a drop than Ghost 2. I always thought the Ghost felt more like 14mm after broken in. Maybe it's just because it was overall higher off the ground.

Anyways, sorry for rambling. Any info on the Boston 3 would be appreciated. Also have looked at the Supernova glide, but hear that's a bit too soft.

The thing I like about the Boston 2 is the firmness of the cushioning is perfect. The shoe feels very smooth and efficient. don't like shoes that feel like marshmallows and slow you down or shoes that are rocks and lack cushioning. Adidas cushioning is perfect IMHO. I would think the Boston 3 is going to be similar to the 2 with possibly slightly less cushioning but I think the upper is improved which is one place the 2 is lacking. Coming from the Ghost these will feel like racing flats to you, but you should be able to adapt. I would give them a try.

Thanks for the info. The Boston 3 sound great.

Btw, the Ghost 2 is completely different than the current Brooks Ghost model. Ghost 2 was barely heavier than Boston 3, with a little bit higher midsole.

Maybe you already knew that. I'm just wondering if you were comparing Boston to the current Ghost model or the Ghost 2, because that makes a difference in how I imagine the shoe. (unfortunately I am at college and won't be able to try the Boston on at a shoe store so I will probably end up getting it online when it comes time to retire my current shoes)

I was referring the Ghost 3 and 4 which I tried on.

Never tried the Ghost 2.
