what's your favorite gear, shoes or otherwise?

I was pushed into a pair of Asics GT-2000 (4) a couple of years ago, and although they were generally quite good, they are far too much of a stability shoe for my needs. I appreciated that they were light, breathable, and showed little wear after ~400km. My understanding is that the GT-2000 (5) is effectively the same shoe....no major changes.
That said, I switched over to the Saucony Ride 9 last season and have nothing but positive things to say. They're much more of a neutral shoe and have noticeably less padding than the GT-2000s (which I like). I've got nearly 700km of the current pair and they're still great. With the Ride 10 just released, I took the opportunity to buy two more pairs of Ride 9s at a discount.
