A daily road shoe under $130 — not a Superblast

The quiz already filled these answers: road, daily miles, neutral, regular last, normal drop, $130 ceiling. The card below is the pick that fits that budget. Change the ceiling and the winner changes.

Surface: Road — pavement, sidewalks, the treadmill
Job: Daily — easy miles, most days
Support: Neutral — my foot tracks straight
Fit: Regular — a normal last
Drop: Normal drop — the usual heel-to-toe offset
Budget: About $80–130

Daily road miles at $130 is a light trainer you can actually buy — not a $210 max-cushion Superblast 3.

Raise the ceiling to $180 and the daily pick steps up. This page stays under $130.

Stability or trail at this money is a different pair.
