    I'm looking for shoe advice. I found the Nike Katana's online for about $40 but I don't like getting shoes online that I haven't already tried out. What are the Katana's like? I am currently using the Fila Corso's (yeah, it's been a few years since I got new racers). I like them but have a lot of miles on them. I've also used the Saucony Fasttwitch which were good. I'm about 145 to 150 lbs. and run mid 2:40 for a marathon. Any experiences with the Katana's or something else I should be looking for?

    brooks t6, the t5 is the only flat I've ever had but it's amazing, and the t6 is better.

    The Katanas are a nice smooth shoe.

    They have just the perfect amount of cushioning for a nice long run but not to much where you can't get up some speed.

    I used mine for everyday training and road races.

    The traction on the bottom is unbeatable though.

    I've also used the T6 and there pretty good although I had some feet pain dude to the super snug fit on the arch area.

    I was a fan of those Filas. Someone here a few years ago suggested the Hyperspeed as a reasonable shoe to try, for the Fila fans. It was a good suggestion: while they're by no means twins, they're a good shoe and in the same ballpark. Assuming the current model is similar to the Hyperspeed 2.
