I’m a neutral runner with medium arches. For some reason the 97 Kayanos really worked well for me despite their stability features. I am fairly particular with my shoes fit and function. I normally seek out neutral shoes with decent cushioning. This is despite the fact that I am a definite mid-foot striker. I race 5-10k distances in racing flats. Over that and I’m in lightweight trainers. DS trainers have too much motion control for my tastes and my achilles have flamed up every time I tried them. Gel-Lytes and Verdicts worked for 1/2 and marathon distance, but I found them a bit too harsh in the forefoot and am actively seeking a better solution. Right now I’m trying out the Nike Zoom Spiridon, and they seem to be just what I’m looking for in racing/fast training shoes. I strayed away from Nike 18 years ago, right after high-school when I started to develop plantar faciitis whenever I used Nike shoes. Too bad. I really liked the ride of the Pegasus. I’m not sure the NB’s I’m currently in are the best for me either. They’re working, but not like I remember those Kayanos. I tried the Nimbus IVs for a couple of pairs, but thought they were a bit stiff in the forefoot, as well, even for trainers.
