My favorites are Asics Gel Nimbus. I'm on my fifth pair now. A lot of my buddies run in Hoka's so I gave them a try. I wasn't a fan but could see how the would work for others. I also tried a pair of Altra's. I really liked the wide toe box but I couldn't stand zero drop.

I like brooks and hoka one one for any longer runs and the zoot and new balance racing flats I have if it’s a shorter run
Really go to a good running store (not academy/dicks) and they can watch you walk/run and suggest a couple that will be best. Try those on and pick
My buddy loves ASICS and I hate em

Definitely go to a running shop and get checked out, don't just go to Academy or buy online.
May not be saying much as before I had a $25 pair of cheapos from Academy.
A guy at work introduced me to the Hokas a few months ago and tried his on and was impressed. Have been waiting since then to find them on sale at leftlane sports and finally got them for less than $70.

It's a long way of saying, the running will help you drop weight, but finding something that really taxes your lungs is the key, which will develop a quick recovery when it comes time to draw that bow back on the side of the mountain.

So we hunt Colorado every year, around 10k', plus or minus 2k on any given day. I ran hard (30-40 miles a week) preparing for our hunt two years ago. Didn't help. Last year, I quit running around April, and began climbing stairs with weight. I would do about 1000' three times a week. I found this wasn't entirely helpful either. What I found was the best training was running stairs, doing the 1000' three times a week with no weight as fast as possible. It built my endurance up such that I would suck wind at the top, but recover super fast.

Solid advice thank you !

I really like Nike Air Zoom Fly's for me, on road and crushed granite trails. For me, finding the right pair of shoes IS everything. When running, and each step hurts a little more than the last one, it sucks, and brutal. I will pay a large sum of money for great fitting running shoes, because its that important to me. I've done 3 marathons and will continue to long distance run, because I enjoy it. There are quite a bit of long distance runners and guys that do full triathalons on here, and I greatly value their opinions.

That’s one thing I noticed with my old adidas that running hurt. And lately it hasn’t. I’d like to try brooks and hoka but didn’t find a pair that felt right. So the Sauconys are doing well till I can try on more of the other. Fleet feet was out of a lot of those brands. I guess for a reason
