The DS Trainer is a favorite for a lightweight training shoe that also provides some stability. It is called the gold standard of the performance-trainer category by Runner's World. The Gel-DS Trainer and other Asics models won our 2012 Fitness Walking Shoes Readers' Choice Award.

The Landreth has long been a favorite for high-mileage training for those with neutral stride. In its latest versions, it has memory foam in the heel for a secure fit. I like the wide toe box. The shoe has gender-specific fit.

This shoe isn't a pure neutral shoe, it has motion control elements and a medial post for support, while still being very light. The Running Network gave this shoe their Gold Medal top honors in the lightweight category.

This shoe is built for neutral feet and is flexible and comfortable. It has enough cushioning for longer mileage and I used it in training for the half marathon distance. New Balance shoes come in widths, which is appreciated by those of us with wide feet.
