[QUOTE="97desertCobra, post: 13239258, member: 53488"] I disagree. If a person is a neutral runner like myself but picks a shoe for over pronation because it feels good at the time it can lead to injury. Knowing what shoe you 'should' be wearing is half the battle. I ran a marathon wearing the wrong shoe once and because of this I sustained a few different injuries that went away immediately once I put on the right shoe. As for getting suckered into buying $150+ shoes thats just sales. Like buying a car you have specific models that fit your needs, one that will get you there just fine, one that will get you there more comfortably and one that will get you there in style. The one you decide to spend your money on at the end of the day is on you but they all get you to the same place. So while there is a $150 shoe on the rack for your type of pronation, there is also a $60 one too. OP, put your shoes on top of a table and look at them from the rear. You will see very clearly how the shoes wear. Depending on how you pronate will determine which side outside or inside wears faster. Or if you are neutral it will be pretty flat like the day you bought them because it wears very evenly across. Then flip them over and take a look at the front half of your shoe and notice the wear pattern. BTW good running form involves more of a mid foot strike vs a heel strike with relative even transition to your toes and pushing off just slightly more with your big toe and next toe over. [/QUOTE]
