January 28th, 2009 by Ransacker | Comment

This months Runners World magazine features its Spring/Summer Shoe Guide. Bigger than ever the team at RW have reviewed 42 pairs of running shoes and with the help of Dulwich Runners and West 4 Harriers, have put them through their paces.

Amongst the generic wash off running related terminology and impartiality the running shoes that came out on top were:

Asics Gel Kayano 15 Running ShoesAsics Gel Kayano 15 - RRP: £115  Ransacker Price: £71.99 

Award: Editors Choice

What we say: Improving on the already great Asics Kayano 14 the Asics Kayano 15 sets a new benchmark for support running shoes. The weight has been reduced yet the cushioning improved. This is one of the top structured cushioning shoe available and a firm favourite amongst serious runners. The ideal shoe for the high mileage runner seeking a blend of cushioning and support.

Mizuno Wave Inspire 5 – RRP £85. Ransacker Price: £67.99

Mizuno Wave Inspire 5 Men's Running Shoes 2009Award: Best Runners Update

What we say: The Mizuno Wave Inspire 5 is ideal for longer distance runners and is very durable. The gender-specific features are very effective and noticable during running. It is both light and supportive. It is not as comfortable as the Kayano 15 but is more flexible and responsive.
