As a supinator, Nike Air Pegasus give me the fit. Try all of them and see what feels right. Walk around 10-15 minutes in the store.I am currently wearing the 2012 Pegasus, as my 2011 has retired after the Ottawa "National Capital Marathon".

Asics Gel Nimbus was 2nd choice for me, but I find gel cushioning is heavier than air, thus Nike was my pick. Also, Asics Nimbus tends to be wider than the Pegasus and I do not wan't my foot touring around my shoes and end up with blisters.

@spotty what do you think? How long have they lasted?
I find it hard to find trainers that don't pack out after a few months use. So far New Balance have been the best I've found.

I've been doing my running workouts w/ asics that much resemble those in position #1.

I've been using New Balance cross trainers for years and quite like them.

I can't believe I've been complaining for months about my running shoes and I still haven't gone out to buy new ones yet. I like the nike ones!
