Looking for advice on trainers. I was a strictly Nike Vomero girl - versions 2, 3 and 4 absolutely loved! Put up with 5 but then fell out of love with them on version 6! Switched to Asics Gel Nimbus - all went OK to version 15 and then ..... all went horribly wrong! So now, after having brought up all I could of version 15 and making them last far longer than I should I am searching for a new shoe! I have the Asics Gel Nimbus 17 but hate it! Feel like my legs are flapping and my feel have no cushioning. I am a neutral runner, I run on the road, I'm not very heavy but I do like cushioning. Can anyone help?

I have a pair of Hoka Clifton 3's which I adore, light, loads of cushioning and very comfy. I only do road too.
I also went for the Hoka One One Clifton 3. They have plenty of cushioning and they are perfect for road run. It may feel a bit weird and soft to start with but after a while you just get used to it. I would advise to spend some time on short distance with firm shoes also, so that your plantar does not get lazy...
Adidas ultra boost and supernova will also offer supreme cushioning with 900miles out of them, more than any other shoe. A positive with the energised boost system is that you can run in their ST range and not be affected by the support although of course a firmer ride so even more options and the upper is very flexible
Have a look at the ON range too. Cloud / Cloud flow are great for a neutral runner and also very light (lightest on market) and rarely matched on comfort. Narrower like an Asics shoe (for info) I spent at least 13 hours a day in them for 4 consecutive days at Ride London expo and weren't sore or achey at all
