I supinate. Stability/motion control shoes cost the most, hence the reasoning. I need/like neutral shoes. Anyway, you can learn a fair amount yourself. Here's my advice IF you know what shoe type you like and your size and width then: -buy shoes from http://www.runningwarehouse.com/ -google a coupon to use as well. They're like the newegg of shoes If you don't, I guess you can try your luck with any running store personnel. You can also get a rough idea yourself. Let someone film you running with a decent camera (cellphone won't help). In general, look for vertical alignment between the ankle,knee etc also look for the amount your ankle turns in as your foot plants. you can probably google more precise things of what to look for. i'm not going to go into detail and none of this is exact anyway Look for wear pattern on your old shoes. People usually recommend looking at the heel wear, but since so many people are heelstrikers, chances are, you'll just notice excessive wear on the outside of your heel. Generally you'd get a good idea by looking at forefoot wear. If it's more towards the inside or outside, you'd be more likely to be a overpronator/supinator respectively. You can try an arch test, although I don't find it very useful. Just wet your foot and step on a paper towel or something and note the imprint your foot leaves. This'll give a rough idea of low/med/high arch but it doesn't really tell you much. Getting good shoes for you is really a trial and error process, i wouldn't rely on anything other than what your feet are telling you after your runs (but even if they're hurting it's not necessarily the fault of your shoes but more likely your training) anyway gl | ||
