I don't know what level of stability you need, but you might really like the Nike Lunarfly. I've been running in these for quite some time. They are very lightweight, lower profile, but still quite cushy. I alternate them with my New Balance 905s. On paper they are similar (both are lightweight, light stability performance trainers), but the feel is very different. The Nikes feel like a much plusher shoe, but they still don't have bulky heels and have a really flexible forefoot.
