Nike LunarGlide

Have you looked at Nike Free shoes? I've used Free's for the last two years and just got my second pair last month after using the first pair for 800+ running miles. They are designed for forefoot strikers and come in a progression of styles that are supposed to help with the development of your foot strength until you can run barefoot...if you so choose. I'm not really looking to run barefoot but I was very satisfied with my 7.0 frees and I hope I have similar results with the 5.0s.

I'm in the same boat with you.  I've had some PF issues and I would like to try some new shoes.  I am somewhere between a heel and midfoot striker and I almost oversupinate.  The thing that concerns me about these minimalist shoes are longevity.  They seem like they would not hold up, especially to a 210 lb guy like myself, for very long.  And at the cost of a normal shoe that can hold up, it seems like a waste of money.  But as the above post said, they seem to hold up pretty well.  And I will say that I have recently heard several people rave about the Lunars. 

if you are at all a heel striker then I'd stay away from the minimalist shoe.  I'm 215 and run in lightweight trainers mostly, but I'm a mid-foot striker.  The heel strike puts more stress on your legs, so you may not enjoy the minimalist shoe.

Tried on the Lunar Glide and Avant+ today and ended up going with the Avant. It's a similiar shoe with the same Lunarlite foam that the GLide uses but weighs even less and isn't as stiff as the glide. It's also only $69.99 at Sports Authority right now. I'm not a big fan of buying running shoes at the Mass Sporting Goods stores but my local running store didn't have the Glides or the Avants yet and I wanted to buy them before my race this weekend so I could get some break-in this week. It has a little more support than the free's but not as much as the glide. It's also a pretty narrow shoe which was great for me because I have really long narrow size 13 feet. Most 13's are just to wide including the Glides I tried on. I ran a few miles on the treadmill this afternoon and I have to say they felt great. They are really easy on the knees and it feels like your running on foam. Very cusioned. I like that at my age. The knees won't last forever. They almost felt like they had extra bounce to them. I ran a really fast mile and then did some speed work.
Ran tonight on the street and for the mile run after my bike they felt really good but for my sprint work they felt a little slow. My Asics 2140's feel much faster for sprinting. Not sure why this is. I run my 200yd sprints in 35 sec in the Asics and was avg around 38 in the Nike's. Not a big deal because I'm not a sprinter so these are keepers. Can't wait to put a good 5 miler in them to see how they feel. Real test will be my 5k race on Saturday and Sprint Tri on Sunday.

I have the Lunar Trainers and they are quite awesome. They are light. So light, you would not think that the show would give you enough support or cushion, but they do. I've had them for over a month and put almost 200 miles on them with no major gripes. This is coming from an avis Asics user! I would watch the achilles area when wearing this shoe sockless, it gave me blisters on both tendons! One thing about the Lunar foam, it seems to wear faster than my Asics and might have to retire them in the next couple weeks.

I would like to try out the glides. From what the reviews are saying is that Nike has made the heel area softer to ease up on the achilles area. They sound like they are better than the Lunar trainers, and if they are, I might have me a new pair of shoes in a couple of weeks.

As for gait profile: I am practically flat-footed, heel-strike, and supinate. The Lunars feel great.
