I run full and half marathons and have switched shoes from different brands over the years. I bought a pair of Reebok Forever Floatride Energy based on good reviews in running magazines and have never looked back since. sneakers a year and that's a great deal, especially when they're on sale for about half the price, nothing beats them. The midsole cushioning is soft and won't fray, and the outsole is durable. They're not as fast and light as my Newton, but they're a lot cheaper. This is a great all round running shoe.
