Runner-Up: Saucony ProGrid Guide 2
This lightweight stability shoe has extra cushioning in the forefoot and a Dual Density Impulse EVA midsole, which helps guide your foot strike and adds support under your arch. "This shoe had tons of bounce and shock absorption -- it felt like it was literally a part of my foot," Swanson says ($95, saucony.com for info).

When it comes to running, I'd have to say for shoe quality and performance, New balance is a clear winning for every scenario. I do road and trail running and live by my two New Balance shoes: The New Balance 1080 ( http://www.newbalancevancouver.ca/1080.html ) And The New Balace Minimus Trail ( http://www.newbalancevancouver.ca/minimus-10-trail-running.html )
