Go with Cohesion 9 or other previous versions
My last 6 pairs of running shoes have been Saucony Cohesion. I run >20 miles/week, and they are the first brand of running shoes I found that are light but also offer great support for my overpronation. Plus they are far less expensive than bigger brand running shoes that don't offer as much support.
HOWEVER, something changed with the new Cohesion 10 shoes. They have way less support than previous versions of the Cohesion. As soon as a slid my foot in I could tell the shape of the shoe was different. It is not as contoured to the foot. The insoles feel flat, whereas previous versions had a defined arch.
When I wear these for runs, they feel like shoes that are ready for retirement. I have sensitive feet and legs that are prone to stress fractures, and can instantly tell when a shoe is too worn and will start straining my legs. These felt like that from the start. I hope 11 improves, or I will have to go back to past models.
