The New Balance Rebel v5 is a great lightweight trainer with an energetic ride. It disappears on your feet and it has velvety smooth transitions. Version 5 feels more like a daily trainer than a speed trainer due to its softer, more cushioned ride. It has a thicker midsole with less ground feel so it's less stable and doesn’t feel as fast as v4
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 is a very stable shoe—much more than past versions—with a secure lock down and comfortable cushion. Durability is improved along with stability, but this makes for a heavy and blocky ride
The Mizuno Neo Vista 2 is an excellent, versatile daily trainer with an extremely soft and bouncy ride. Version 2 has a new layer of TPE Enerzy NXT foam that provides more energy return but it has an upper which feels too baggy.
Originally designed to be the training companion of the Saucony Endorphin Pro, the Endorphin Speed is a lightweight trainer for long runs, moderate training sessions, and sprints. It's so light that it can also be used for racing. The Speed 5 has a new upper, midsole and outsole, and has received some updates that change its ride character slightly. The Speed 5 has also become $5 more expensive and is now priced at $175. This comparison will tell you which is the better version for you.
The Skechers Aero Burst is a great max-cushioned trainer with a smooth, cushioned ride. It has a carbon-infused H plate that stiffens its forefoot, speeding up transitions and improving efficiency. Compared to its predecessor, the Max Road 6, it has a softer but slower ride due to the new formulation of Hyper Burst Ice
