Pegasus / Structure

no. if youre neutral a support shoe like the structure will mess you up. youll be over corrected and thats just as bad as being under corrected. stress fractures and lateral leg injuries such as i.t. band stuff will pop up when someone is over corrected. go with the structure if you overpronate (most people do).

Would that make the Structure with Dynamic Support a better choice for someone who doesn't over-pronate?[/quote]

Answer: No. Have you ever tried the Structure 17? It is quite rigid in the inner half of the midsole due to the dynamic support and feels awkward (in my opinion) for a neutral runner. Not that I love the Pegasus (had enough iterations and prefer the now gone flyknit trainer) but at least it does not have the odd feeling of the structure. That being said, the Structure is an excellent choice for over-pronators. I work in a specialty run store and this is one of the better choices for a lightweight support shoe, and the upper wraps pretty well to the foot if you like that feel.

Would wearing a Superfeet replacement insole in the Pegasus 31 offer more or less arch support and stability than wearing the Structure without a replacement insole? My issue is that I have plantar fasciitis and was told by a podiatrist that I should be wearing replacement insoles in my running shoes (currently the Pegasus). My thinking (perhaps flawed) was that I could wear the Structure and not have to deal with wearing any kind of inserts which I find uncomfortable and they elevate my foot and make me feel unstable. AS far as my degree of pronation...I have no idea.

Thanks.

Squigley-

Wearing a general superfeet orthotic will not necessarily prevent you from pronating. Unless you have a flatter arch that collapses pretty far, then the rigid orthotic will hold it up.

If you are dealing with PF I recommend getting a pair of superfeet insoles. The rigidity along the arch will help lessen the stress on your PF.

In terms of structure vs pegasus, the 2 other posters are right. Go get checked by someone that appears half way competent at a local running store. Being in support when you don't need it can be just as bad as being a neutral shoe when you need support.

How do you determine what color Superfeet insole to get? Do you just go by what's most comfortable? Will wearing a Superfeet insole elevate you foot in your shoes and make you unstable? especially when running on trails and uneven terrain. Once plantar fasciitis is under control / healed is it recommended you continue to wear your Superfeet insoles?

I've had both get the structure if you slightly or fully pronate

The pegasus is good also

Both are similar
