Agree with you on Cliftons, I’ve always felt like the arch on those was too high for me.
Asics seem to be the darlings of the last couple years with less hype around the Saucony Endorphin line. Depends what kinda feel you want but all these are cushioned well just will have a different response.
Novablast a bit leaner, responsive faster feel
Nimbus well cushioned slower feeling
Superblast bouncy and well cushioned. Its technically over stack height for races I think, but I credit that shoe for keeping me in the game over some heavy training periods. I’d lean Novablast for shorter efforts.
NB 1080 and Rebel 4 are getting some good reviews.
There are so many good shoes out there right now from tons of brands.
My personal rotation at the moment
Atreyu Daily Trainer 1 and have the 1.2 to be delivered today.
NB Rebel 2. Favorite shoe ever, it’s old but I stocked up on pairs and now they’re getting up there in miles. Thinking Topo Cyclone 2 next?
Asics Superblast
Norda 001 for the trails.

We might be in the golden era of running shoes. Actually we might be on the decline from it on second thought.
But the running shoes of today are not the running shoes of 10 years ago. And they’re not the running shoes of four years ago.
Let me know if you need help picking a running shoe!
Current rotation:
• New Balance 1080 v13 for slower longer runs
• ASICS Novablast 4 for peppier tempo runs
• HOKA Mafate Speed 4 for trail
• New Balance Rebel v4 for something in between

I went to my local Fleet Feet and got my feet analyzed last summer! They recommended these shoes to me for walking as well as going a full size up because your feet swell as you move/as the day goes on. The foot scan also told me that I apply more pressure on the front of my foot when I walk and I totally notice it now, so getting a larger size is a must for me! I've worn my Hokas for 139 days (I use a wardrobe tracking app) and they are still good but I'm noticing their wear, so I recently got the Asics. The Asics are super cushy, which is weird to get used to at first but really comfortable! I recommend both types, but also to get your feet scanned if that's available by you :)

the first run in new sneakers is always crappy. Terrible. Twist my ankle a dozen times, feel like im on stilts, barely have any control. But the second run?! I feel like i am invincible! running at the speed of light!! Even though after the run i check and my pace was totally flat 🤬🤬but still, i feel so much better when getting into new shoes, run efforts feel so much easier.
My new asics novablast 3s arrived earlier this week and yes i know they are butt ugly but this model is my favourite and its the only colour they had in my size on sale. Just look at the cushion on those puppies!!

Brandy was my childhood stuffed puppy dog, and named after my dad’s beloved St. Bernard. Pictured is Puppy, a clone of Brandy that came from grandparents house. The duplicate canine was sourced after Brandy was left behind at grandma‘s and had to be mailed home. I think the idea was to have one at both locales.
