Dilemma on Buying Shoes

Take a look at the Asics DS Tainer. Great shoe.

DS trainer or the Mizuno Catalyst another great shoe

What shoes have you been using?

Have they been comfortable?

There are many neutral shoes that are also very stable. Fit and comfort are more important than trying to correct something.

Hi,

I need advice on buying shoes. I've checked my feet at lots of stores but the most convincing one is that I have:

1) Neutral foot with slight overpronation.

A few stores suggested that I buy support shoes.

The problem is that all the support shoes that I tried feels tight on the uppersole (Ravenna 7, Kayano) whereas shoes for high arch feels comfortable it that sense.

I was warned that if I use other than support shoes, my overpronation will develop more.

Need advice on how to decide.

If you need a shoe for slight overpronation, I would try the fresh foam vinyl. It feels similar to the neutral boracay, but is just a little bit stiffer to help with stability.

The latest studies say that some flexibility in the ankle isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world, so if you haven't had any problems with neutral shoes in the past there's not much accepted science saying that you need to have a perfectly stable foot on impact. Whoever told you that you'll develop more overpronation over time from wearing neutral shoes doesn't know what they're talking about.

Recently there's been a very

Some suggestions off the top of my head:

Nike Structure 20? - Nike, along with some other brands (Asics notably) has gone in the direction of what we call "Inherent Stability" - referring to stability through framing the foot within the shoe rather than using a higher density material on the inside of the shoe. (The LunarGlide is similar in that respect)

Brooks Dyad? (possibly in a width to give you some room in the upper)

Asics Fortitude?

Email for more on these!

Thank you very much for your reply. Well if this is the case it solves a lot of problem. I feel comfortable wearing neutral shoes. It's the advice from the store that makes me uncomfortable to buy other than support shoes.

Thanks!

I'll find the right one then!

I've tried Asics Dynaflyte. They are sooooo comfortable

"fresh foam vinyl" is that a brand?

While one case doesn't mean ANYTHING, I certainly have developed more pronation over the 35 years I have been running. I don't think it has anything to do with wearing neutral shoes (which I do) I think it is just part of what happens as you age. All of your stabilizing muscles do a little less.

"Whoever told you that you'll develop more overpronation over time from wearing neutral shoes doesn't know what they're talking about."

Supernova Sequence, preferably the 7 or 8. Trust me.

Try clifton 3s or nb 1500v2, I'm a similar type to you, and those shoes work for me

fix your form

nobody is a natural overpronator

don't rely on crutches called "support shoes"

don't listen to people who are trying to sell you shoes

OP, have you been having trouble with what you've used in the past? If you've been running in a neutral shoe and not getting hurt, well, who cares what the shoe store says "should" work for you?

Now, if what you've been using has not been working for you, then ignore my post.

Genzebe Dibaba is not having a dilemma!!

mizuno wave ultima. neutral but very, very stable.
