I'm occasionally wearing an old pair of 18's to the gym and for general walking around. I really loved some of the old versions. <br /><br />The Mizuno Wave Riders tend to be a pretty firm shoe, so it'll feel different than the Saucony Kinvara, but I have heard that the latest one (version 20) is the softest yet. You might like it.

I wore them for CIM and they are just not cushy enough! I am in the market for a "longer distance road" shoe... soon.

They are my favorite! I wear them for my long runs and some easy runs. For speedwork I like the older models of the Mizuno Sayonara.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-82002997074018877912017-03-19T13:49:38.698-05:002017-03-19T13:49:38.698-05:00I have high arches, too!

I feel like the altras would be good for lifting (especially squats) but can't imagine running in them. I tried some on at a group run once, just not for me. I have also tried on those New Balance Vazee shoes at a group run, not for me. <br /><br />I like the Fresh Foam Zante for speedwork and races and the Brooks Launch for easy days and long runs. If you haven't tried the Launch you might want to look into those. Or, just buy a few pairs of Kinvara's and rotate them, don't buy the same colors though!Amy Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197087030892201936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-42645171169370202272017-03-18T14:00:55.724-05:002017-03-18T14:00:55.724-05:00It's still Kinvaras (or Brooks Launch) for me ...It's still Kinvaras (or Brooks Launch) for me for long, slow runs & marathons, but more & more I'm finding that for shorter or faster runs, I prefer a little less weight & less cushion. My current favorites are Saucony Fastwitch, New Balance 1400, & Mizuno Ekiden.Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.com
