Woodstockers...

I thought it might be interesting to get people's opinions on some running shoes. Of course what's good for some won't be good for others, but I still think it'd be interesting to get peoples opinions on various models. After all, running shoes are a significant outlay.

I always bought Asics Gel DS Trainers, but being a light-weight shoe, they tended to "go flat" more quickly than I'd hoped. 

This year I bought Asics Kayanos, which are a bit heavier, but seem to have maintained their cushioning longer.

Looking
in shoe shops for a new pair, I've come across a few new models which I haven't heard a lot about, but are a fair chunk cheaper than Kayanos - which the cheapest I can find are $230 at Paul's Warehouse. 

Brooks Trance 8 ($199 at Rebel)

Nike Air Span +6 ($159 at Rebel)

Reebok Premier Verona Q109 ($149 at Rebel)

Reebok Pemier Ultra ($169 at Rebel)

Anyone got any experience / opinions on these models? Any others that come highly recommended?
