I thought I had read that the new version had corrected this problem. How long ago was your experience with them?

Trail shoes have lower profile soles to give you a better 'feel' of what you're running on and more control, they also have more lateral support. If you're just running golf-courses, running shoes should be perfectly adequate.

i bought one when it first came out ( thats when they had commercials for it) so thats like one year ago or more. and then maybe 8 months after the first one ripped. i bought a second pair. its the same generation but different colour. can u link me the new generation of the 5.0? i became so disenchanted with running shoes. i bought a pair of 8 dollar starbury running shoes.

Sorry, I guess I read it in a Wiki. But maybe Nike modifies it themselves:

So, I ended up getting these: Nike.com

So far I am happy with them, and seem to be a lot easier on my knees/joints. Thanks for all the replies

one shoe does not fit all styles. Asics are great for some, they are horrible for me

The nike airmax 180s are great! Ive had them for over a year and there ready to give out now. I am looking for a new comfy and good looking shoe to run in. Any suggestions?
