But not every shoe is available at every store. When weights are mentioned, they are for men's size 9. When two prices are listed, the first is the men's price. The less expensive of the prices listed is always for the women's model. Sizes listed are for men's and women's models, when applicable. When it's not, the shoe is a men's models and the sizes listed are for men.

3000: $50
stability
Turntec is known for its moderately priced, stable trainer. The 3000 is definitely that. With a two-density EVA midsole and a graphite shank for support, the 3000 has good stability. It's also fairly durable with a solid carbon rubber outsole. Sizes: 7-12.
Mojave: $40
trail
Most trail shoes cost a lot more than the Mojave. It does have an adequately cushioned midsole and a traction-oriented outsole. It's also flexible. Sizes: 7-12.
