I like Nike for the fit but they are heavy. Adias is light but they fall apart faster than Nike. I'm looking to try a new shoe. I run about 25-30 miles per week.

Thanks Average Joe. I did get fitted and I have an average running gate. I am looking to see which shoes works for runners and why.

What you would want is a reasonably light training show that flexes as your foot bends. Seems like there are so many overengineered shoes that are like concrete casts, with all of the rock hard plastics used.
I found the Nike Zoom Air Miler and the Adidas Cushion Response are good for both fit and as a general purpose training shoe.
It depends on the model of shoe, not the brand name. As far as fit goes, New Balance offers different widths.It seems like the Chinese making most footwear just use a generic size for everyone (Adidas used to be a bit narrow 20 years ago).

Asics! I used to use Nike when I was in High School and college. Frankly, Nike just hurts. Asics are a lot more comfortable. I came across them by accident about 7 years ago.
2 years ago, I bought a trail running shoe by accident. That was the most comfortable running shoe that i've ever had in my whole life.
From now on, I only buy Asics trail shoes for running. I run about 15 miles / week. Not a whole lot but enough to know a little about a shoe.
Traditional street running shoes are too stiff or something for me.

Having run 3 marathons, two 1/2 Ironmans and assorted other competitions, not to mention the 45-50 running miles per week required to adequately train for these, Just Do it and stick with Nike. They fit my feet great, need little or no "breaking in" period, and I can run in them with no socks. (I know that sounds crazy, but for me, it's kind of like the difference between driving a car with luxury suspension (with socks) but I can't "feel" the road as well. Whereas with no socks, I feel like I am driving a stiff suspensioned sports car and I can feel the road better. Never mind the smell of the shoes after a couple of weeks...but with the Nikes, I just toss them in the washer with detergent, hot water and Clorox and they're as good as new.

I no longer run. I do some heavy duty walking still usually about 15 miles weekly. I use New Balance..1 single reason. I wear a 3 A shoe with 4 A heel. They make one that works super, good support for my almost flat feet.

Asics! I used to coach Nike whilst i replaced into in extreme college and faculty. Frankly, Nike in basic terms hurts. Asics are so a lot greater advantageous gentle. I got here upon them by ability of utilising twist of destiny approximately 7 years interior the previous. 2 years interior the previous, i bought a direction working shoe by ability of utilising twist of destiny. That replaced into the main significant gentle working shoe that i've got have been given ever had in my complete existence. any added, I easily purchase Asics direction shoes for working. I run approximately 15 miles / week. no longer a robust purchase yet sufficient to appreciate a sprint a pair of shoe. classic highway working shoes are too stiff or something for me.

i like the Nike Air Max 180's and Adidas Microbounce+. Both are really comfortable for long runs. I'd rather the Nike's because their not so well bouncy for sprints on a track. I know it sound weird but the bounces actually bounce if you sprint on a track.

I run alot, 40-45 miles per week, and I've had many experiances with shoes. I've tried a bunch of shoes but none of them have been great and non-heavy, until I found Filas.
Filas aren't eactly for running, but they're comfortable and light. I can run with them and they last very, very long. I recommend the shoe for you:

Saucony, because it provides excellent arch support and lasts for a long time. The last pair of Sauconys lasted me almost a year and a half.
Actually, you need to figure out what your running style is and choose an appropriate shoe based on that. Overpronation or underpronation can make a difference in the kind of shoe you will require.
