i am a runner that mostly runs 3000 - 5000 on track and 5 and 10k on the road.
I want too buy new racing shoes, but can't decide.
I have small and narrow feet.
Think about:
Mizuno wave ekiden
Sacuony type type a5
adidas adzero 2.0
asics pihrana sp3
nike flyknit racer
new balance rc5000
Please let me know your experience with the shoes, if you own one off them.
you've got a bit of variety concerning heel to toe drop, there.
weight, too. i'd figure out what you're looking for first, then narrow it down to shoes that actually fit that.
your list is far too varied.
My vote would be for you to try the NB 1600 or 1400. I find the shoes to be good for 5K to half marathon. I would stay away from the 5,000 unless you are looking for something to just protect your feet. I found the shoe not be very comfortable when the pavement was not very smooth.
The Adizero 2.0- is pretty stiff and is a lot of shoe for the the shorter races but if you want a firm shoe it may be the way to go.
Saucony A5- is a good one but is a little less shoe then the NB which may find not as comfortable for something longer like a 10K.
Mizuno Ekiden- Is similar to the A5 in the amount of shoe but will most likely not feel as padded as the A5
Asics Pihrana- traditional has had a pretty baggy fit in the toe box and the heel. I would stay away from it if your foot is narrow.
Cant speak to the Flyknit
Good luck
if you have worn cushioned shoes do not go to the racer if you will run in it alot. I traditionally ran in lunarglides,then tansitioned to the flyknits ended up with 2 weeks with awful achilles tendonitis and my chance for indoor states have been narrowed. My advice is personal preference, if you have worn cushioned shoes stay with that kind, if you haven't go ahead and explore.
At the moment ii wear asics skyspeed for trackworkouts and saucony ravena for endureance and long runs. For track i wear asics md 5.
Hope this helps
The Ravenna is made by Brooks, not Saucony.
i am looking for a shoe, that is a light as possible.
I weigh 115 pounds, so i don't need a lot off support.

that's not a shoe. adizero is a line of shoes. Perhaps you mean the adizero adios 2 or the adizero hagio 2?
Go with the a5s.
