running shoe feedback needed

asics ds trainers xi,

imo deliver a hard ride. great traction though, feel like a daily
trainer, not a light-weight trainer. very popular. i have a pair i'm
not crazy about.

the new balance 823

the 823 & 833 is a fantastic minimalist light weight trainer, i think
brian b. in texas ran the boston marathon in a pair of these. of all
the shoes listed these are the most flat like. NB is great in that they
don't 'mess w/this model....iow, "keep it simple". terrific shoe. the
833 is a sweet shoe to race in.

and 901,

very nice, of all the shoes has the most roomy toe box. only downside
is they wear down rather fast imo. this is supposed to be an
advancement on the 833....it's a very successful shoe in the
market...this seies. i've had 2 pairs of 900s and 1 901.

nike zoom miler and the

you don't want this shoe. not terribly popular with daily runners,
very much a starter shoe for people just getting in the game. never
owned a pair.

mizuno wave elixir.

i've never been disappointed w/a pair of mizuno shoes. however this
shoe is just too new & unproven, you'll be a beta site, could be good,
could be bad.

I'd go w/the 833 over the 901 for running a marathon. the 833 is by
far the minimalist champion of all the shoes you've listed.

thanks for the feedback. it's appreciated

Dave, these mouth breathers aren't loyal to brand names.

They buy whichever jogging slippers color coordinate with their jogging
costumes.

Stay away from the zoom miler. The forefoot chusioning feels very flat
and they do not have good transition heel to toe. Also have a history
of leaking air bags. A fantasic lightweight trainer from Nike is the
Skylon 3, I consider it the best shoe I've had. The Skylon has been
updated and now called the Hayward (but in Europe it's called the
Skylon 4). These shoes run about a full size small and narrow so don't
even consider them if you require a wider fit.
