    I have run in Lunarglides for pretty much all my running career. Was at LRS getting some compression sleeves  and saw they had Lunar eclipses. I googled weight and know they are 2oz heavier. I have been dealing with leg pain and after a stent on the TM I think the pounding on the pavement is wearing me down. Anyone try each of these shoes and have any input

      I run in Nike Lunarglides but I am hardly a wealth of knowledge because I have never run in anything else so I have no basis of comparison.

        sorry, I didn't notice I just put Lunars, I as well do the glides but was told eclipse has more cushion. I tried Asics gels and although I liked the cushion I disliked the extra weight.

          If you go to Forums, then Gears and Wears, you might get some more answers. It seems a lot more responsive than the old RWOL gear section. I don't run in Nike so can't help any more than that. Good luck with the legs.

            I was under the impression that the LunarEclipse have more support features than the Glides as well.

             

            I pronate pretty significantly and I wore a pair of them for a while.  They certainly didn't last as many miles as my Adrenalines, perhaps because they were borderline supportive enough to start with, but if I can run in them without a problem, they have a decent amount of support.

            My wildly inconsistent PRs:
