    This is completely an opinion & I've been an avid runner for years. I can definitely say that it depends on what you are looking for, and indeed your tastes can change, here is what I find to be the the best & worst using the defining characteristics of running shoes ...and I've tried 'em all:
    Comfort- Reebok & Saucony(best), Adidas(worst...but still pretty comfortable)
    Duribility- Adidas(best), New Balance & Asics(worst)
    Light Weight- Saucony & Asics(lightest), Nike & Reebok(Heaviest)
    Support- Nike(best), Saucony(worst)
    Overall- Nike(best...Reebok & Saucony close 2nd & 3rd), New Balance( worst)

    This is just a generalization, obviously products come & go, New Balance has occasionally made a fine shoe, and similarly, Nike has made a few stinkers, but this is what I expect from the manufacturers when I purchase a new pair of running shoes. I'll buy anything if the price is right...hey, what can I say things go on sale, but bang for my buck it's Nike, they may do few things the best, but they do everything very well! There's not a wide margin from first to worst, I don't think any of the major manufacturers are notoriously horrible. You won't know how great of a shoe you had until it's worn out...and likely irreplacable as the model has been replaced.

    • You're right. I did laugh! Reeboks kill my feet when I run. Thank goodness for different brands for different feet.
