Hello all,
I am looking for new pair of shoes after abusing my feet with endorphin speeds and developed pronation with my right foot.

I am looking for stability shoe with decent cushion for road running.
I tried Asics kayanos and they give me shin pains even after 8km. 

Few suggestion I got are 

- Saucony endorphin shift
- Saucony guide
- Nike invincibles 

Please suggest me which one should I go with.

My background:
M/37
68KG weight
Regular run between 14-16km
Long runs 20-26km.
Weekly mileage 60-70km

Stability shoe with decent cushion

I was diagnosed as an overpronator with flat feet by an orthopedic surgeon. I have flexible arches. (FYI—I go on 4+ mile walks, not running, but doc said to use running shoes). I also mostly overpronate in one leg. 

I’ve tried many different shoes (some before I knew I overpronated):

Nike Zoom Structure 22–Worked the best—by far—discontinued 
 
Nike Zoom Winflo 5, 6, 7–work fairly well, but can bother my ankle and is tight on the toe box

Saucony Guide 13–HORRIBLE results. My feet hurt so much I couldn’t even finish the walk and had horrible shin splints

ASICS GT 1000 9–uncomfortable for the first mile, comfortable the rest. However, triggered plantar fasciitis a few hours later 

ASICS GT 2000 9–same deal, but not as bad plantar fasciitis and had shin splint issues

Nike Pegasus 36 Trail—pretty much same results as ASICS GT 1009

Also, Nike React anything caused horrible discomfort just at the store. 

I’ve looked at the reviews, heel strike, drop, forefoot height, heel height, flexibility, and arch and I can’t figure out why some of these work and some aren’t. I don’t understand some of the specs. Is there something I’m missing? 

I’m trying the Nike Quest 2 and 3 next. They were comfortable in the store, but most shoes were comfortable at first.

 Anyway, no empirical data prove that stability running models are a better choice than neutral shoes to prevent injury. Comfort should be the main criterion when choosing shoes, not the pronation type, although the two can sometimes be related.  I weigh more than 187 lbs/85 kg. Can I run in these shoes? Yes, this model should be a good fit regardless of your weight

  I weigh more than 187 lbs/85 kg. Can I run in these shoes? Yes, this model should be a good fit regardless of your weight. Indeed, it has a comfortable cushioning with a 30-mm stack height under the heel, which is sufficient for most runners.  Is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 a good choice to run a marathon? First of all, let’s note that the essential criterion to determine what shoes to wear during your competition should be your personal preference

Guide Rails Holistic Support System: a stability feature that supports the athlete’s foot to prevent a too great outward rolling motion (overpronation).The Segmented Crash Pad is a special zone that enhances shock dispersion and fluidify the movement Upper The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21’s upper is an engineered mesh that gives a comfortable and secure foot lockdown while offering good ventilation.3D Fit Print is a seamless system of overlays that optimizes foot lockdown.The heel counter improves foothold and avoids slippage

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 Review (2021): Should You Get It?

I’ve stuck with the same shoe for 4 years now. I sometimes wonder if I am foolish and should branch out, but continue to buy my favorite Asics shoe model. I personally really, really like the Asics gel nimbus. I ran a half in gel nimbus 19’s and again in gel nimbus 21’s, both times running faster than I planned. I figure if I keep running faster than expected, why change? Thoughts?

Edit: Currently riding the Gel Nimbus 22 lite. Feels super fast! Loving all the comments. I think I need a larger shoe budget now. 🤔

How loyal are you to your favorite running shoe model and why?

 The toe box is also very accommodating to my foot. I didn’t have too much wiggle room, but I didn’t feel like my toes were cramped together.  

JARRETT: Brooks redesigned the upper of the Adrenaline. With the 21st iteration, it’s a new engineered air mesh that is soft, comfortable and provides a secure fit. 

The GuideRail system from Brooks just works with my stride. The issue I usually run into with the medial side posting from other brands is that it takes away from the cushioning that the shoe is supposed to provide. The GuideRails system sits slightly above the midsole to stop any inward movement, while not taking away from the comfort provided by the DNA Loft.

ALDREN: It looks like all of the shoes from the Brooks lineup this year went on the same diet. Every update in 2020 made their shoes look a lot more streamlined, and the Adrenaline 21 followed that trend. One issue with last year’s model was that it was too bulky. This iteration creates a more snug fit around the midfoot that had me feeling secure and locked in

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 Performance Review » Believe in the Run

Hi, 

I've started running few months ago and I'm looking to replace my old Asics that have around 8 years. I know I should have disposed them earlier :)

I'm 38, around 100 Kg, 180 cm, moderate pronation and I run short distances around the city, mostly on asphalt. At the moment I'm jogging 5K after completing the couch to 5 Km, but I'm planning to increase up to a moderate distance which I'd say it will be around 10K.

I've been looking at few options for new training shoes and would like to know opinions. I'm not willing to spend a huge amount of money on the latest fancy model, but something that is enough to run in a healthier manner.

So far I've looked at:

\-  Asics Gel Fortitude 8

\- Asics GT-3000

\- Asics Gel-Fundation

\- Mizuno Wave Paradox 5

I don't have any preference for brands, althoug Asics seem to appear everywhere I read reviews.

Thanks.

Seeking recommendation for starter: man, 100 Kg, pronator, short distances (5-10km) city pavement

  This consists of a double-layered, engineered mesh – a little more structured than other shoe brands, and designed to allow the upper to keep its form and hug the foot more securely. The laces are slightly elasticated and the tongue is gusseted – both features are designed to keep the fit secure while increasing breathability and flexibility in the upper. Cushioning With a stack height of 30mm, the Adrenaline 21 is considered a maximal running shoe. Like previous models, it uses Brooks’ popular DNA Loft cushioning – a firmer foam than other brands made of EVA foam, rubber, and air

  However this is partly down to the resistant and durable materials that Brooks uses – so if you’re not in a rush, I guess a little break-in time is a fair trade-off for a great quality pair of trainers that will last you countless miles. My recommendation would be to try this model for 90 days under their RunHappy Promise – what have you got to lose?   Not Sure If the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 is right for you? Try the Saucony Endorphin Shift 2! Another great high-mileage trainer, read our review of this star shoe linked below: 

 The firmness was definitely noticeable at first, but after a few runs, I found that the foam broke in nicely, becoming more supple.   This break-in is actually part of Brooks’ smart design. Over time, the midsole is designed to soften in the places of greater repeated impact – i.e

   As mentioned, this is a daily trainer slightly on the heavier side, which isn’t built to encourage you to move at a high pace. So if you’re looking for shoes best for speed runs, this probably isn’t the one for you.

For me, this is the biggest criticism of the GTS 21 – the long break-in time

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 Review

I am a very flat-footed overpronater.  Around seven years ago I got into running on the Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 and it seemed pretty okay.  It was the only pair of legit running shoes I ever had.  I really want to get out there again.  Is the latest Wave Inspire model still a really good choice?  Is there something better out there?  Thanks for your time!
Edit:  I also have a slightly wide foot, and now I'm questioning whether the Mizuno is really the best.  I am researching on my own, but any help from those with experience is still greatly appreciated.

I want to get back into running after years on my ass, but I want to make sure I get the right shoe for my flat feet. Thanks for your input.

Hi all, I’m a relatively new and weak runner. I’m getting better and run about 2-3 miles/day. I’m having issues finding good shoes and feel my improvement is being hindered. I have genetically horrible feet. I have very flat feet and overpronate. I also have small bunions on each side of my toe box (both feet) and hammer toes. I wear arch inserts in my normal walking shoe, but when I wear them in the shoes I’m currently running in, I feel like they don’t help. Around a mile, my mid foot starts to feel a cramping and burning sensation and I have to stop. I had Brooks a long time ago and I remember loving them, but can’t remember what kind they were. I’ve tried ASICS and they rubbed my toes, Saucony is a little tighter than I like. I’m trying to get to a gait analyzing running store soon, but the closest is about an hour from me.

Can someone please help educate me or give recommendations? I really love running but I want to do it without pain. Thanks so much.

Need serious help and education with running shoes

When you step into the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 you can expect to feel a very comfortable and traditional trainer.  I really like that the heel counter is sturdy, padded and well constructed.  The tongue is gusseted with an average amount of padding that makes the shoe laces lock down comfortably.

Kathy started running in 2005 after getting her first corporate job past college and gaining weight.  Her admin at the time suggested she run her first 5k,  which Kathy trained for 10 months in preparation.  Having a career in advertising and traveling frequently, Kathy discovered that running was a great way to stay fit and see all the cities she was visiting.  Kathy loves destination races having traveled as far as Australia for a marathon, and locally Chicago, New Jersey, Arizona and pictured here at her half Ironman in Indiana
