As one of the premium designs for stability and cushioning, the New Balance 1260 v7 represent one of the most interesting solutions when you want the best materials. The main strength of the shoe comes with the resistant outsole which is designed according to flexion areas in the forefoot. The outsole is also flat on the midfoot area to offer improved overall support for arches as well. With a mesh upper, the shoes are among the breathable options to consider. But they are still quite heavy by New Balance standards so they might be a solution when you need better shock absorption.
The Saucony Guide ISO 2 running shoes offer a stable cushioned profile perfect for runners who need extra comfort. With a comfortable profile, the shoes are not revolutionary but they can be reliable, which is great for most runners.

Combined with a breathable mesh and plenty of comfort around the ankles with thick padding, the shoes are both flexible and supportive.
The Adidas Aerobounce ST 2 shoes are now improved for long-distance running. With a wider profile and Bounce cushioning, the shoes are supportive.

With a supportive underfoot for neutral and mild pronation, the Asics Gel Cumulus 20 LE is based on the Flytefoam technology. The technology is known for its responsive foam which can offer the same level of comfort on both short and on long runs. But there are other smaller technologies and principles applied by Asics in the Gel Cumulus 20 LE. For example, the HG10MM heel gradient shifts the weight of the body forward while the gel system works to limit the shocks ligaments feel.
Asics has always made inspired running shoes. But it has never actually appealed to those who wear them as casual shoes too much. Can things be any different with the Asics Gel Quantum 180 4? The shoes are now very distinct in how they look. Apart from coming with a running platform to envy, they also offer aesthetics worth watching.
