I am currently running in Asics GT-2000's and on my second pair. I have experienced some nagging injuries plus a a slightly more severe one (peroneal tendonitis) while running in these. I used to think they were more comfortable and better for me because since running in these I have not had any shin problems. However, it is now time for a new pair (because ~450 miles on these now). I am looking into the Brooks Ravenna, Brooks Ghost or Saucony Mirages.

Does anyone have any real input on these three shoes, which would be a good transition, etc.

Please any input is valuable.

The Ravenna would be the closest to the 200's in terms of fit and function.

The Ghost is a Neutral shoe whereas the 2000 has some posting. I assume you pronate a bit?

The Mirage is a lightweight, more minimal type posted shoe. I believe it is only a 4mm offset.

Yes, I pronate but only slightly.

Try the Ghost this time (or a similar neutral shoe that fits well when you go and try things on at your local running specialty store).

Long term, you may want to have a neutral and a stability shoe at the same time - Ghost and 2000, Ravenna and Cumulus etc.. May help avoid overuse issues.
