Since beginning of January I have been training in the Asics Gel Cumulus 11's/12's. No problems with them except that I hate how I only get about 300mi in them before they are worn down big time to wear my shins start to hurt when i run in them over that.
Can anyone suggest me a shoe (any brand, interested in either nike or asics) that I can get more mileage out of that are somewhat similar to the Asics Gel Cumulus 12's? Would the Nike Lunarelites possibly be a good fit?
come one bro! man up and just start wearing some converse chucks! $ running shoes are for girls.
go to runningwarehouse and look through neutral shoes, but I would suggest the Pegasus.
check out the asics gel pulse
300 Mi....if you are interested in Nike, Air Pegasus is a good starting point (per Snakedoctor09) as a very democratic Neutral shoe. It fits a wide range of foot types and has a good balance of cushioned comfort without going too soft and losing a responsive feel.
If you are interested in trying out a Nike Lunar shoe, I suggest you try on the LunarFly at the same time you try on LunarElite. Both are very similar in weight (sub-10oz) but offer much different rides. Lunar Elite is firmer and more responsive than LunarFly due to a thinner layer of Lunar foam underfoot. LunarFly is closer to Air Pegasus with a softer and more accommodating ride, but lighter and faster than Air Peg.
Hopefully you have a local Running Specialty shop near you where they can walk you through your options (Nike and other brands) in person.
Good luck in your search.
There are some factors to think about before you just buy shoes. One is your weight. Heavy runner is going to go threw a shoe faster then a lighter runner. Mostly because when you land one your feet your putting 5 times your body weight of force on the shoe. The second would be be what are you running on. (Treadmill, trails, pavement) Softer ground will make the shoe last longer. Also the cumulus is a price point shoe. designed to last around 300 miles. You could try something with more cushioning. Like the Asic Nimbus Around the 120-140 dollar range. But also try a firmer shoe. Try the Saucony truimph
