New Balance 990. Made in the USA. You can see the quality compared to the Chinese made shoes. It's not a running shoe for a 150 pound super fast runner. It's great for those over 185lbs that need both padding and stability.
Running shoes are almost like a prescription for what you need. A person who pronates to the point of injury needs a stability shoe. A heavy guy with bad knees or hips needs a cushioned shoe. Someone who is a fast efficient will run better with a light weight shoe that will let him fly. A person who gets injured a lot from running would break down quick running in those light weight running shoes that almost feel like slippers.
