Maybe it's just me, but when it comes to looking for new running shoes, I'm paralyzed. The shoes I've worn so far have this or that little thing that bugs me, but I generally like the platform. The problem is that there are so many options out there, and nearly all using different terminology, I can't determine which shoes are similar to the ones I have, or which ones are totally different.

What I'm looking for is a Netflix-type "Recommended for you" feature for running shoes. As an example:

I started running in Brooks Adrenaline GTR14, just to get started. I wouldn't wear them now, too big a drop for me now (14mm I believe). After correcting my form and building mileage, I made the switch to Newton Fates (don't remember which gen). Then, added a pair of Newton Gravity IV to the stable. These shoes were relatively similar in how they felt to me, but turns out the Gravity IVs hurt the outsides of my feet. This past season I ran in Altra One V3s. I like the shoes a lot, but they tend to wear out more quickly than I would like.

So, based on my brief history of shoes, I need some recommendations. I'm a student, so budget is important, but I am looking to buy two pairs so I can keep a rotation. Help?!

Also, some equivalent chart/website would be a very helpful resource in general... opportunity?
