Of course it depends on your needs, I don't think you need special shoes for regular walking, but if I picked from the list here, I would get the Launch or Ghost:


Launch 10 - Lighter / less cushion / lower stack height
Ghost 15 - Good all around mid stack, cushioning, weight
Ghost 15 GTX - Gortex waterproof version, if you live in the rain, good option

Ghost Max - Maximum cushion, would only consider if you don't walk at all, are heavy and are about beat your feet and joints up for the first time in a decade.

Budget options, a bit cheaper foams / materials used, but since they are the same price as Ghost during the sale, no reason to buy these:

Trace 3 - little more cushion
Revel 7 - little lighter, mid cushion

Fyi for wide width ppl - only 2E, no 4E

Wish Brooks did more in 4E, even if only it was just some more colors of the existing shoe styles. A couple come in grey or blue, but otherwise they only do All black and that gets old.

Quote from Jmirage :
Ghost Max are max cushion, and they don't lack stability either. They have a feel similar to Nike Invincible 3, Saucony Triumph 22, and Asics Novablast. Great for recovery runs and heavier runners. Although they are not fast shoes, a bit bulky and heavy, they don't mind picking up the pace.

I would certainly not buy these for walking or daily use. Cushioning does feel nice, but they don't do your feet any favors long term. They WILL weaken the arches your feet, we were not designed to walk on marshmallows.
What would you recommend for daily walking around and light jogs may be?

Those NBs look to be Trail/Hiking shoes. I rock some Brooks Caldera shoes from a previous SD frontpage deal (https://slickdeals.net/f/17586117-costco-has-brooks-caldera-7-trail-running-shoes-82-after-35-discount).

Depending on your needs (ex. I need 4e for my wide foot/toe box area and Brooks have come in clutch for me. Right now, religiously rocking Brooks (Ghost 16 for tempo/speed runs, Ghost Max for recovery/long runs and Caldera for hiking/trail runs)

I would recommend going into a running store that can scan your feet and have multiple options of shoes to try on. The difference in some of these shoes can be a pro for some and a con for others. Good luck with your research.

Anyone think these will drop lower? They aren't selling out at this price and I'd love to grab another pair for even cheaper. Thoughts?

Quote from Jmirage :
No, your feet don't naturally need support or cushioning for walking around. Shoe companies want to sell you arch support and cushioning. The more time you spend using your actual foot muscles, the stronger they become. For daily use, unless you have an actual foot injury, the less support and cushioning the better. That's why the whole barefoot shoe thing exists, just enough sole to protect the bottom of your feet. Initially they do make for sore feet because we use muscles we have not used much in a long time. Like your first time lifting weights in a long time. They do become stronger and that is temporary.

I would certainly not buy these for walking or daily use. Cushioning does feel nice, but they don't do your feet any favors long term. They WILL weaken the arches your feet, we were not designed to walk on marshmallows.
Quote from youra6 :
I'm around 200 and 6'4". Which shoe is a decent compromise of cushion and speed? I'm not running under 20 min 5K or anything, around 26-27 min.

I totally agree with the comments above from "Jmirage".

I like Nike Free RN with minimal cushioning for running 60-minute 10K every other day. They strengthened my arches and cured the plantar fasciitis that I developed running in a heavier, stiffer UA shoe. I also rotate in Nike Pegasus and Adidas Ultraboost for a little more cushioning. Natural is the way to go but best to take it easy at first (run/walk) to not strain your arches.

I do like Hoka Clifton and On Cloudflow for recovery and casual wear, so I grabbed the last pair of size 9 Brooks Ghost Max in Grey/Black since I've been wanting to try Brooks. I don't plan to run in them though. If I don't like them, Zappos returns are quick and easy.
