Good Running Shoes

The Asics Running Shoes Gel-Kayano 15 (*Est. $145) is the clear favorite in the stability section, praised by experts and consumers alike. It wins the Runner's World Editor's Choice award for 2009 and receives the same distinction from Women's Adventure magazine. The Asics Gel-Kayano 15 jogging shoe has been updated with a new midsole platform and more cushioning in the gel inserts, which increases the weight of the shoe to 13 ounces for men and 10.6 ounces for women. The addition of memory foam in to the heel collar provides a snugger fit than previous versions, so if you've work earlier versions of this shoe, it's a lovely idea to try on the most recent version before you buy.

Stability shoes are designed to discourage overpronation (too much inward roll of the foot) through the use of a firm dual-density midsole or a medial post that prevents the foot from rolling inward excessively. These women's athletics shoes are recommended for runners with normal arches or mild to moderate overpronators. (Severe overpronators will need more support than stability shoes provide, and should look in the motion-control section.)

The Gel-Kayano 15 is the first in the Kayano series of jogging shoes to feature asymmetrical lacing, which receives mixed reactions. Testers from Runner's World and Women's Adventure magazine like the off-center laces, but testers for jogging Times found them difficult to tighten.

Consumers praise the Gel-Kayano 15 jogging shoes on sites like Buzzillions.com and RoadRunnerSports.com. The smooth ride impresses the majority of owners,  heavier runners who value the cushioning and stability. Critics find the update stiffer than previous models, and several runners complain of toe numbness after a long run. Those who like the shoe acknowledge that it needs a breaking-in duration to reduce this initial stiffness.

Asics offers another well-reviewed stability jogging shoe in the Asics GT-2140info (*Est. $100). Like the Gel-Kayano 15, the GT-2140 received an Editor's Choice rating from Runner's World magazine in December 2008 and RunTex.com singles it out as six of the best updates of the year. The upper on the Asics GT-2140 jogging shoe has received a complete makeover, but the interior components have not changed much except for the addition of a memory foam sock liner. Still, testing by RunTex.com shows improved stability compared to previous models in the series.

Consumers are also fans of the Asics GT-2140, with  60 reviewers giving the r an average of 4.8 stars in reviews on Buzzillions.com. Reviewers are generally happy with the latest update to the GT series and praise the plush cushioning. Several runners also mention that the shoe fits well for narrow feet.

The Karhu Strong Fulcrum Rideinfo (*Est. $140) is another option in a stability jogging shoe. It tops the Runner's World list as the Best Debut for 2009, and testers for the magazine find it exceedingly comfortable. However, testers at jogging Times magazine think the Strong Fulcrum Ride is seriously overpriced with insufficient cushioning.

Another lovely choice in the stability section is the Brooks Infiniti 2 (*Est. $125). Shape magazine editors pick this shoe as the best option for distance walking, and the magazine's testers praise the shock absorption and smooth transition. The Brooks Infiniti 2 is also an Editor's Choice winner from Women's Adventure magazine, who find it a lovely choice for slight overpronators and distance runners. we praise the Hydroflow fluid cushioning in the heel and forefoot, which provides ample support for heavy mileage. The new Infiniti jogging shoe is lighter than several other picks in the stability section, coming in at 12 ounces for men and 10 ounces for women.

Other lovely choices in this section include the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9info (*Est. $105), the New Balance 769 STinfo (*Est. $100) and the Nike Zoom Equalon +3info (*Est. $135).
Motion-control shoes for overpronators

Motion-control shoes are designed for severe overpronators or large runners with heavy builds. Shoes in this section are typically heavier and more rigid than other shoes, due to the extra materials required to correct overpronation (too much inward roll of the foot). These shoes are not recommended for neutral runners or underpronators (those with high arches whose feet don't roll inward at all).

The Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS (*Est. $115) receives Runner's World magazine's Best Update award for 2009 in the motion-control section of jogging shoes. Lab testing and user feedback shows that Saucony has made the latest version less stiff and more responsive. ProGrid cushioning in the heel absorbs impact with a smooth transition. Testers find that the shoe provides adequate flexibility while still offering serious pronation control.

Motion-control shoes are anything but lightweight, and the ProGrid Stabil CS is no exception. The women's version weighs in at 11.7 ounces, while the men's version rings up at 13.8 ounces.

New Balance offers a popular motion-control shoe in the New Balance 1123info (*Est. $150). Designed for high-mileage runners, the men's version of the New Balance 1123 gets  perfect five-star reviews from 30 reviewers on Buzzillions.com. Several runners praise the generous sizing, which accommodates wide feet and leaves lots of room for orthotics. A majority find that the cushioning and support hold up well during their long runs. The women's version of the New Balance 1123 also receives positive reviews on Buzzillions.com, although most reviewers use the shoe for jogging instead of walking.

New Balance also scores in reviews with the New Balance 1011info (*Est. $120), which is rated the best shoe for overpronators by National Geographic Adventure magazine. The magazine finds that the New Balance 1011 is relatively light for a motion-control jogging shoe, even though the men's version weighs in at 14.2 ounces and is heavier than the other models mentioned here. National Geographic gives the New Balance jogging shoe six stars for both cushioning and stability. It's not hard to see why this shoe is designed for severe overpronators -- an interior rollbar and full-length strobel board help keep feet from rolling inward excessively.

The Newton All Weather Trainer (*est. $175) is another interesting choice in this section. Rated as "excellent" by triathlete Mathew Honan in his review for Wired.com, this jogging shoe claims to fit every type of gait -- from neutral runners to overpronators -- by mimicking barefoot walking. Without the support and cushioning of a jogging shoe, Newton believes most runners naturally strike the ground with their mid- or forefoot,  than their heel. Actuator lugs on the bottom of the All Weather Trainer guide the foot to strike first with the midfoot, which decreases pronation compared to a heel strike.

Honan tested the All Weather Trainer over six months and 200 miles. we notes that while the All Weather Trainer is comfortable, it does take a few runs to get used to landing on your midfoot. Overall, we thinks the shoe is "exceptional" and we gives it an excellent rating, but the high cost is a serious drawback.
Neutral-cushioning jogging shoes for high-arched runners

The New Balance 1063 (*Est. $125) is the top pick in the neutral section for 2009. It receives the Best Update award from Runner's World, and it also impresses reviewers at Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine, Maine jogging Today and jogging Times magazine. Runner's World finds that a redesigned last improves fit and cushioning, but the New Balance 1063 is still six of the firmest options in the neutral section. Testers at jogging Times find it snug, but it is recommended for both speed workouts and long runs.

Neutral jogging shoes are designed for runners with high arches and underpronators. we are typically lighter and less rigid than motion control or stability shoes, and will encourage the foot to pronate naturally.

The editors at Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine are impressed with the heel cushioning and midsole foam on the 1063 jogging shoe. The shoe feels lightweight, according to the magazine, even though the cushioning is appropriate for high mileage. Jim Rogers, jogging coach and owner of Maine jogging Company, labels it six of the best updates of 2009, and Joe Nuss, the managing editor of Endurance Magazine, thinks New Balance has a winner with the 1063. Nuss praises the spacious toebox, snug fit and fluid heel-to-toe transition of this jogging shoe.

The Mizuno Wave Rider 12info (*Est. $100) is a runner-up in the neutral section. It was a Runner's World Editor's Choice in December 2008, and it also receives positive feedback on Buzzillions.com. Mizuno did not make lots of major changes from the Wave Rider 11, but the addition of an Ortholite sockliner is intended to improve responsiveness. Over a dozen consumers give the 2009 Wave Rider 12 positive reviews so far, with most agreeing that the shoe is lightweight and lovely for speed work. six runner notes that the cushioning did not hold up for a long run.

The Saucony ProGrid Echelon (*Est. $110) also ranks as a Best Debut from Runner's World in the neutral section. This new jogging shoe is best for larger runners and the redesigned last helps accommodate orthotics. six of the Runner's World testers likes having extra room for orthotics, but another finds the shoe  bulky. The editors at jogging Times also note that the cushioning is substantial for a neutral shoe.

Another Runner's World award winner, the Karhu Fluid Fulcrum Rideinfo (*Est. $105), is deemed "excellent" by the magazine's panel of testers. The interior fulcrum is designed to increase jogging efficiency by transferring energy from the heel to the midfoot for a more powerful toe-off. This neutral jogging shoe is softer than other Karhu models, and Runner's World cautions that this is a no-frills shoe. six tester found that the traction was insubstantial.

The Saucony ProGrid Triumph 6info (*Est. $125), picked by Women's Adventure magazine as best in the neutral section, is another lovely choice. The magazine likes the midfoot fit and finds that the lightweight ride is best for speed workouts.

Shape magazine picks the Under Armour Apparitioninfo (*Est. $110) as the best neutral shoe for speed work. It rates well on style, comfort and stability among the magazine's testers. Runner's World names it a lovely choice for runners with high arches, but some runners might find it  bouncy. A reviewer at RoadRunnerSports.com finds the heel-to-transition slightly awkward, which stresses the lower legs.
