I loved the landreth 3. Skipped the 4. Bought the 5's and returned the next day. Too narrow, too heavy, too much grip on the rear, too clunky, too much padding and flater forefoot with less toe-off. Asics has ruined this shoe.
I tried on the Saucony Progrid Ride and liked them in the store, even though they were a bit narrow.
Don't want to suffer the shame of returning another pair.
Any other brands options to consider?
I use the Stratus 2.1. Less structure than the Landreth 3s, more similar to the Landreth 2s.
x2 for the Stratus. Good cushioning, light, flexible and less expensive.
x3 Stratus.
Just an FYI, the landreth 3 is a wider fitting shoe. If the Landreth 3 fit you and the Progrid ride doesn't, try to stick to wider shoes.
cumulus?
wave rider? the new one is quite generous fitting in the toebox.
the progrid ride is a pretty damned good option.
I loved the II, but hated the III. I would kind of agree with your opinion on the V. I recently switched to the Saucony Ride, and I like it alot.

If you liked the fit of the progrid ride but thought they were too narrow they come in a wide width. So that should solve the problem.
