i will only use Brooks running from now on. i switched during marathon training and i am glad i did. extremely comfortable and well built. my Brooks shoes have about 350 miles on them since December, including 2 half-marathons and the Boston Marathon. i'm due for a new pair, and these are highly recommended.
i would also recommend going to a shop that video tapes your stride to determine if you need different sole compounds. sounds like overkill at first, but it makes a world of difference and makes running easier.
