I have had a very hard time over the past few years finding my perfect road shoe. I tried zero drop for a while and it beat up my Achilles too much. I switched to low drop and have been pain free. Since then I have tried a bunch of different shoe until I landed on the Brooks Hyperion Max 2. I like the response, it's lower drop ~6mm, relatively light, and has an upper that fits my foot well. I've worn through 3 pairs and I'm working on my fourth pair but unfortunately I can't find them in stock anymore. The Max 3 looks like a completely different shoe so I'm not sure where to go from here. I use runrepeat.com as a guide but I figured I'd ask here as well.
