    +1 on the Five Fingers, it's all I run in. KSOs and a pair of Flows for cold and wet. Up to marathon distance.

    Got burnt out on the shoe hunting, though there are enough styles and size variance in the Five Fingers to sometimes make it feel just as complicated.

    I really don't like the Nike Zoom Triax Structure 13 that I'm in now. The heels are way too built up, and with my first pair, it took fewer than 400 miiles before the midfoot was so compressed that I slapped my heel on every foot strike. But they're the only shoes I've found so far that come close to fitting my duck feet, and I'm much more comfortable and less injury-prone in shoes that fit.

    I'm just not ready for barefoot yet (and admittedly haven't been working on it much lately - maybe that should be my next goal). But do be aware that there's a lot of recent research that says "stability" shoes increase the likelihood of injury for everyone, regardless of gait analysis.

    That's what I got after a gait analysis. They sized me up from what I "normally" wear, and I have to be cautious not to tie my laces too tight. I've got very flat feet and over pronate. I used to get shin splints easily - not with these shoes.

    I run in the Nike LunarGlide. They say they have a feature called "Dynamic Support" and therefore fit for runners that underproante as well as runners that slightly overpronate. I can't approve this, as I tend to underpronate and have the feeling the Nike pushes my foot to the lateral edge even more.
    I don't like them much.

    I also have a pair of Terraplana Lucys, I like them more than the Nikes, but the sole is quite slippery, so I won't use them much in Winter.

    Where I live it is ridiculously difficult to find a pair of neutral running shoes without giant heels.

    Yeah, the Lunarglides don't work as well for neutral or very mild overpronators. I had a pair. WAY too stable and stiff for me. The Avant+ and Lunarfly+s use the same sort of stability technology, but it's MUCH less structured and has a more flexible forefoot. They fit my duck feet pretty well, too.
