assistant: I'd love to help you find the right daily trainer, but I need to pull up the full shoe data to give you a solid recommendation. The retrieval came back empty, so let me ask a couple of quick clarifying questions first: 1. **What's your current weight or weight range?** This helps me match shoes engineered for impact absorption at your body weight. 2. **Any injury history or biomechanical concerns?** (knee pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, etc.) — or are you just looking for a durable, protective trainer to handle your 30 km/week safely? 3. **Budget?** Are you flexible, or looking for a specific price range? Once I have those details, I can recommend trainers built for heavier runners with the cushioning and support that heel strikers benefit from.

assistant: For a 90 kg heel striker logging 30 km/week, you want a daily trainer with enough stack and cushioning to absorb impact at your body weight, plus a geometry that works *with* your heel-strike pattern rather than fighting it. I'm recommending three shoes, each with a different strength for heavier runners: **New Balance 1080 v15** — Best overall for your profile. At 258g it's lighter than most max-cushion shoes, but the 38/32mm stack (6mm drop) gives you solid impact protection without feeling sluggish on easy runs. The Infinion midsole delivers high energy return, so you get responsive bounce even at slower paces — crucial for heel strikers who need forefoot propulsion. Doctors of Running notes it's "lighter, bouncier, and more run-focused" than the v14, and the mild rocker helps with heel-to-toe transitions. Durability is 500+ miles, well-suited to your 30 km/week. **Saucony Ride v19** — Budget-friendly workhorse. At $140, this is the most economical pick and still delivers high cushioning with a traditional, forgiving ride. EDDBUD calls it "a dependable, traditional daily trainer" with a wider heel — good news for heel strikers who need stable landing. Less exciting than the 1080, but rock-solid for base-building miles. **ASICS Gel-Kayano v32** — If you want extra support. This one carries mild stability (guide rails, not old-school posts) and is rated for mild overpronation, which can sometimes pair well with heel strikers who land with slight inward roll. At 298g it's heavier, but the 40/32mm stack and 500+ mile durability are built for impact absorption at your weight. Run Moore notes it's "evolved into a genuinely runnable daily trainer with strong durability" — though fair warning, it runs narrow in the forefoot. All three sit comfortably under your $180 budget. The 1080 is my pick if you want versatility and snappy transitions; the Ride if you want simplicity and value; the Kayano if you suspect any mild overpronation creeping in. Do you have any preference for a firmer, bouncier feel (like the 1080) versus a softer, more cushioned ride (like the Kayano)?
