    Should I wear Neutral or Stability Shoes? I have been wearing neutral shoes (cumulus 10, wave rider 12)when I first started running and I had no problem in those shoes even though I overpronate. But after I found out that I overpronate, I bought the Asics Gel Kayano 16 to fix my overpronation that wasn't even a problem in the first place. I think these shoes are great but I like the mizuno wave rider 12 more. The other day I took out my mizuno wave rider 12s and took a run with it and now I have a problem. When I run, I land on the outer side of my feet. What should I do now?

    If you truly were injury free in the Cumulus and Rider then you should be fine going back to them. Some people feel the Rider has them on the outside of their feet even though it is a neutral shoe.

    If you really think running in the Kayano's for a bit caused you to change your mechanics then you should readily believe that changing back will cause your mechanics to revert to what they were.

    I'll second that advice.

    Oranges Oranges - I have very similar sounding circumstances to yours. Anyone that analyzes my gait barefoot would be horrified at the degree to which I pronate and would put me a super-stable shoe. Like you however, I've had good luck training for some time with neutral shoes (Peg 27) plus a Biosoft insert. I had my PT check this scenario out and she said that as long as my body remained healthy that there was no reason to change anything. She said that my body had simply adjusted.

    Hope you get back to healthy.
