I am doing a comparison on these running shoes for a business communications class. Could anyone give their thoughts and opinions on their personal experiences with these shoes. My main concern is flexibility,cushioning,responsiveness and longevity of the shoe.Thanks so much

I have the Triumph 6 and really like them. I ran the Baltimore marathon in them last year and to date they've lasted the longest of any of the Muzuno's I've worn (Wave Rider 9's & Wave Nivarna 1/2/3's). The inside are a little beat up but treads are still good and new insoles have given them new life, cushion seems to be holding up well. When I ran in them without my Superfeet, they hurt the top of my foot, but once I added the Superfeet, they were great. Never run in Brooks, so I cannot comment. I understand the Brooks Glycerin is more compairable to the Saucony Triumph though.

Clydesdales shouldn't run in Five Fingers!

I have the Ghost. I love them. I bought a pair off eBay for $30 shipped because I was curious about the Mogo material. I had been running (still do on recovery jogs) in the Asics Nimbus 9, but the Solyte material was just not cutting it. I had dropped nearly 20 lbs and was becoming more efficient, so I wanted a bit less shoe with more responsiveness (the Nimbus started to feel like I had marshmallows under my feet). I have less than 60 miles on them, but have used them on a variety of runs ranging from steady state to a recent 18-miler. I switch out between the Asics Speedstars (love the SpEVA) for short-mid distance runs, but will rock the Ghost as long as they keep selling it.
