What's best neutral running shoe?
Hoping I could get some advice deciding on a woman's running shoe.
I had my gait analyzed on a treadmill and was told I'm about as neutral as you can get (I had previously been running in Nike Equalon's on the bad advice of a sales person which had been giving me horrible shin splints).
I run 20-40 km a week (anywhere from 5 to 15km on a given day), run almost exclusively on sidewalks and pavement, and weigh about 63kg.
I've done some research online and have come up with the Asics Nimbus, Nike Pegasus and Nike Vomero. I have preference for Nike because I use the Nike + arm band, but I do have an adapter that would allow me to attach it externally to any running shoe. I've been told New Balance makes good shoes too, but don't know too much about their models.
Would appreciate hearing some opinions.
Thanks.
...and I have a medium to slightly high arch

As you are a neutral runner, you should avoid thick sole shoes. So what i would recommend to you is the Asics Gel Kayno 14 for running shoes for women. They are widely recognized by their comfort and they fit mostly neutral runners.

particular, your feet nevertheless develop. i became as quickly as very much shocked whilst my shoes began to now not fit in my 30's and mandatory to bypass up a a million/2 of length. by applying and huge working shoes will could desire to by using a a million/2 length extra advantageous than your street shoes once you talk approximately that your feet swell while you run and you do not want to cramp your feet. some people get black and blue feet or blisters on condition that their shoes are too small. the different ingredient you additionally can want is to to purchase narrower shoes. Asics 2120 makes narrower shoe widths. those are the friendly i made up my recommendations. maximum shoes would not have narrower widths, so i'm limited with the shoes i will purchase. So my advice is to purchase a a million/2 of measurement bigger and a narrower width. be certain you bypass to a intense-high quality strolling shoe save, they're going to in advantageous condition your desires ideal. sidestep sporting products shops, they might not have the effectively purposes to in advantageous condition you with the suitable shoe.

I like shoes from the cross-training category.
Basketball shoes are too heavy for just running and running shoes don't provide the protection and support needed for running on the street. They are light as possible for running on the track.
Cross trainers are usually well built and ready to go anywhere.
