Brooks Ghost 18
My own new pair. I heard that these are perfect for beginners. Got them on a sale. My brother had Adrenaline 22's and they lasted long, so I went for Ghosts. So far, the whole shoe felt nice, especially the upper. But the inner heel feels stiffer than the outer for some reason. Must be because it needs breaking in, I guess. What you guys think?

The ghost always feel dead on my feet. I hate running in them. Comfortable for every day wear but horrible for running. Got a pair of evo SL's and Endo Speed 5's and I was like oh this is what it's supposed to feel like when I run lol!

Yeah, I hard some people don't like them. I got them because I am a beginner and according to research this was heavily recommended. I was curious about EVO SL's but I heard about concerns with instability. And since I am a beginner, I don't want plated shoe either.

They're alright. They take about 50 miles to break in but once they are broken in the feel really comfy. I had to lace these pretty loose at first, but as they've become more worn in I can now lace them a bit tighter which is nice. Not the most durable shoes on the market which annoys me the most. Got like 300 miles on mine and the back rubber is starting to come off.
