So I'm in the pureflow 3s right now, and they've been great for me. I do tend to overpronate a bit (though I think that's improved) so I use the green superfeet insoles in them. I'd really like to pick up another pair of shoes to rotate in with them but I'm not really sure what to try. I don't want to get anything that's too substantial as I'm enjoying the more minimalist feel of the pureflows. I'll probably go hit up the LRS on my next day off and try on some different things, but does anyone have any suggestions? What shoes are you loving recently?
I dropped an email to my mom, she worked in a running store for years and was always good at suggesting shoes to rotate in and out of. I will let you know what she says.

runaways --this is kind of random, but I was shoe shopping with my H last week because all his shoe were totally shot. He doesn't run much, but he wanted something he could theoretically run in.
Anyway, he got 2 pairs of Under Armour and one was this new Speed Apollo. (He obviously got mens.)
They are super light/minimal looking, and fit like a glove. You may either love or hate them, but I thought I'd post because they are more of a non-traditional choice he's really happy with.
I rotate Pure Flows with Pure Cadence shoes. It may not be that different, I'm not sure how much of a change you are wanting. I think the Cadences feel a bit cushier ( so I like them for long runs), but have the same drop and same level of support. I just like the slightly different feel between the two without worrying about changing things up too much and stressing out some previously unproblematic muscle or tendon.
ETA: revised info from their site- PFs recommended for no pronation whereas PCs are recommended for mild pronation, so maybe they make sense as an alternate for you?
