Due to having a knee op some years ago, I'm fairly set in my ways for cushioned road trainers. The last 3 years, I've stuck with the Asics Nimbus, but have had a few niggles, mainly my achilles. Seen a few stories on here about others having problems with Nimbus, so I don't know if my problems are just coincidence or not. I've had gait analysis a couple of times and I suit "neutral shoes". Also been on the "GEAR" section on this site to see what shoes have the best ratings from RW and from users of this site.
