I've run with many different shoes. Different people with different body types have different needs depending on their stride and weight. Once I switched to the GEL-Kayano I've had no desire to run with any other shoe. It provides a great amount of cushioning along with the stability that I need for my stride.

Highly recommended. There are some shoes that are lighter, but these breathe really well, are an acceptable weight, wear well (I tend to strike on the outside of my heels and roll onto my big toe), and they provide plenty of shock absorbtion for my knees. I realize that the feel of a shoe is subjective and personal but these really do it for me. When it's time for a new pair I don't hesitate - I just go find the best deal I can on the latest model of Kayanos.
