I'm a high mileage runner and need a new stability/very cushioned running shoe. What do you suggest
I need cushion on my forefoot and the rest of my foot. I run in Nike Equalon 2+ and they are too squishy and flatten out after just 50 miles. I loved the straight Nike Kantara and Nike Equalon+, but they are discontinued. Please help!

Well, it really depends on what kind of arch your foot has..
I have a very low arch and I run with these brooks, they're pretty nice shoes, you could train and race with them and they are pretty light.
If you have a high arch try going to a shoe store and ask them for a shoe with high arch and lots of cushion.
P.S. Make sure the person you ask has some clue about what they're talking about, if they don't they can really f*** up your legs
EDIT: Also try not to get shoes with the "shocks" on the back like basketball shoes usually do. They're bad for your feet

Well since you know that you need a stability/ very cushioned running shoe, then you probably already know that the skylon is definitely not for you. Its a neutral shoe with medium cushioning.
Since you want a shoe with extra cushioning, the following would fall under what I like to call the Cadillac running shoes series: Asics Kayano, Nike Equalon, and the Brooks Infiniti. I highly recommend the Brooks Infiniti. It is definitely the most cushioned stability shoe on the market. And since its a Brooks Shoe, it is guaranteed to last you at least 350 miles before you start to feel the "bounce" diminish.
Hope that helps. Oh and I'm a collegiate runner who also works in a running specialty shop, so my suggestions aren't unfounded.
