I need some new running shoes.

Asics, Asics, Asics.

Asics or Brooks depending on your arch

My go to shoe is the asics gel nimbus for long distance running. Very good shoe.

Agree... i have probably put 1000 miles in Asics nimbus over the yrs. How big are you?

6'0" 170

I'm about 190lbs. The nimbus is a good shoe. Not the lightest or fastest but they will take care of your feet allowing you to get your moneys worth out of them.

Google search them I just saw a pair for $90 give or take for last yrs model ...probably $130 new in store. Only thing Asics's changed was the color

I love the brooks ghost 6. Though I'm due for a new pair. I think the 7 is out now.

Brooks, I think I got mine for 119 (some a little more expensive in the past for 139), but very durable and last a long time

Why did they have to make the shoe so ugly?

They are becoming progressively uglier each year. The last few years they have been very bright in color... I typically prefer a conservative look but the comfort of the Gel Nimbus is excellent.

Your best bet would probably be to go to a local specialty running store and see what they recommend. Also runners world magazine has a good shoe buyers guide based on size, amount of running, stability needs etc..

I run in Mizuno wave runner's and have for the last 3-4 years. Put in 25-35 a week and up the mileage if training for a race.

Have run in asics, brooks, Nike in the past and have just found that these work for me.

Also if you find a pair that works for you, consider buying another pair and rotate them out since even the same show may change in feel from one year to the next.
