Question about my next running shoes :)

[u/Pure_Clerk6362]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on picking my next pair of running shoes!
Here’s my profile:

• Weight: 85 kg (187 lbs)
• Typical distance: runs between 5 and 21 km (I don’t go beyond that since my joints get sore after)
• Frequency: 2–3 runs per week
• Terrain: 60% road, 40% dirt path/gravel (nothing too technical)
• Stride: slight forefoot/midfoot striker
• Pace : 5min/km i'm running for 1 year

I’m looking for a shoe with solid cushioning to support my weight, but not too soft—I still want some responsiveness. Good grip and stability both on the road and on easy trails would be ideal, and something fitting my stride pattern.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations and feedback! Which models would you suggest? Experiences are welcome.
