I just picked up a pair of 361 strata 3. My back has been hurting so I dropped coin on a pair. So far so good. I like the stability, snug fit, and especially the cushioning. It's a very comfortable shoe.
They are super comfortable. My body just never adjusted to the zero drop like I thought it would, though.AgCanuck07 said:

Picked up some NB 1080v10 today, put a couple miles on them, and I think I'll like them for longer runs. I found a cheap pair of NB FF Beacon v1 that I'll use for shorter/quick runs.
Are you me? Because this is my same setup. I swap out the insoles with Superfeet green insoles.wessimo said:
Saucony Ride for training runs and Saucony Kinvara for races.

Has anyone tried the Hoka Clifton 5?
Thanks for the rec! I watched a few YouTube reviews on these & saw NB was running a sale. I searched around and saw JackRabbit had them for $72 and went ahead and ordered a pair. Should be here next week & i'll try to remember to give an update with my first impressions after a couple runs in them.AggieEP said:
NB FF Beacon is a lightweight cushion shoe that has had some great reviews put out on it. I think you could snag a pair for like 75 bucks if you look around enough.
I'm no expert on running shoes but I am comparing them vs. Ghost 9's and I love these things compared to those.AggieEP said:
I'll be interested to hear how you like the Beacons. At the rate I'm putting miles on my current pair, I might try and hunt myself some early replacements.
I made this switch too. The Cliftons are so much more enjoyable to run in.m.stat said:
Went from Brooks Ghost to Hoka Clifton's recently and happy so far. Good cushion and very stable.
Give the Brooks Glycerin a look as well. Probably their most cushioned shoe.AgLiving06 said:
I'm working on increasing the frequency and distance of my runs. I've been doing all my runs in my Brooks PureFlows.
I'm wondering if I should look at some Hokas or other shoes for more comfort on my long runs and keep the Brooks for the shorter speed runs?
I've liked all 5 (different) pairs I've had. Haven't paid more than $65 for a pair.sbtxag13 said:
Sketchers are great, and cheap. I have a pair of Go Ride 7's (I think) that have 800+ miles on them and a pair of Go Meb something or others that I got on Running Warehouse for $59. Very light, good race shoes.
Maybe not the best on styling, but at 5:30 in the morning, it doesn't make much difference.
