High Mileage Orthotics

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

Has anyone used orthotics during high mileage training and has a recommendation for a good pair?

I'm considering getting some. I'm running 100-120 miles a week right now and my feet are starting to feel beat up. I've been using Nike Pegasus 33's, and they seemed OK in the past but I think I may need to either add orthotics or find a shoe with more cushioning. I overpronate pretty bad, and had gotten orthotics when I was in high school. However the last couple of years and when I was in college I was able to get away with not needing orthotics.

Anyone have a shoe recommendation for a high mileage overpronator that runs all their runs on roads, that I can put a lot of miles on?

Maybe the Hoka Clifton? The wide platform helps with pronation a bit. And it definitely has more cushioning than the Pegasus.

I have used these for years. They hold up well and have very good arch support.

Do some short runs barefoot or in barefoot shoes (like Vibram Fivefingers). It'll help you strengthen your feet, improve your form, and ultimately teach you how to land softly and reduce impact as much as possible. If you have strong feet, calves, and ankles, along with proper running form, you should not need orthotics.

Step on a piece of glass get infected and feel like an idiot while missing training. Bare foot running was really wonderful prior to the invention of shoes.

That's why I'd recommend using barefoot shoes. They really do help, but there are still many people who actually prefer completely barefoot.
