I tried on some Brooks cascadia today, they fit pretty good. Might get my feet arch checked out though

heel toe drop is drastically different on many of the shoes that have been mentioned.
i have to run a low heel toe drop in my shoes, and need a wider toe box than most.  because of this i try to stick with saucony for both road running and trail.
my trail running/hiking shoes are the saucony peregrine 6's.
as it's been said..you need to go to the store and try on at least 5-6 pairs of shoes.
also a place with a good return policy is huge here as they could be fine in the store, get home, walk outside one time and you're like "oh crap..."

If you are in Seattle, head to Seven Hills Running Shop in Magnolia. They know their stuff, and if you are up for a run they do a 6-7mile group run on Wednesday nights, takes about an hour or so. A lot of times they'll have various brands in for demo shoes on those runs also.

 :yeah: Shoes are pretty unique from person to person so I defiantly recommend trying a them on at a reputable running shoe store. My personal favorite is the original La Sportiva Crosslite but they quit making that shoe >:(

Fyi Brooks has a big sale at canyon park jr high in Bothell. Picked up 2 pair of cascadias for 100.

Feel pretty good so far but I still think I'll make a trip to a shoe store to get fitted
