Good trail running shoes for neutral foot type? I'm getting a pair of trail running shoes to prevent too much wear on my road running shoes. I have a neutral foor type, I don't over or underpronate, and stability shoes, shoes that are made for those types of feet (most athletic shoes it seems) hurt my feet and take my concentration away from my breathing and running. I love the Asics gel cumulus VII shoes I have, they are a perfect fit with heavy cushioning in the heel and wide flexible forefoot, but not built for stabilizing. Are there trail shoes out there similar to these shoes in this regard? I'm having a hard time getting a fit.

What are some running shoes similar to the Asics Landreth? I went to a running store and they did the runner analysis and they said a really good shoe for my foot would be the Asics Landreth. They are really pricey, 100 dollars. I was wondering if you could give me a list of shoes similar to the Asics landreth. I am a neutral runner and when i run a race, i rarely touch the floor with my heel. Thank you!

rbsax425 replied: "well, 100 dollars is in the medium-to-high range for running shoes. with asics, you pay a little more for the shoe, but the quality you get is superb. a pair of asics will last you many more miles than any equivalent shoe. try finding last years model, which should be cheaper!"

Dylan replied: "The reebok premier cushioning V is 80 dollars this shoe is very good for your type of foot and it is in the price of 80 dollars your not gonna get any cheaper shoe than that! Tell everyone you know about Runners soul Elmhurst ILLINOIS"

what happens if an overpronator wears neutral shoes? also another thing is I dont have flat feet because the wet test confirms that I have normal arches. which is between the whole footprint and the very narrow footprint. my left foot is fine but its my right that I got a small case of tarsal tunnel syndrome..so im wearing neutral gel nimbus shoes..they seem too heavy, but when I go to lightweight asics ds trainers its all good

Justintime replied: "whatever works for you and makes you feel the most comfortable. if something doesn't feel right you should probably try to change shoes. If not you should go down to your specialty running store no chain stores, most of the time they will be good and help you find what shoe is the best for you."

which asics shoes would you recommend me to buy .... i have normal pronation foot ..? and i wanted shoes that are stability or cusion or Neutral

Ocho Cinco replied: "Get the Gel Culumus 9. Check out asicsamerica.com. Hope this helps...."

n0witrytobeamused replied: "I ran in many styles of Asics; the 101, the A6, and the latest is the Gel Kayano. That shoe fits me like a glove! As much as I like Asics, I always try on other shoes just to be ive. Adidas, Brooks and New Balance fit me pretty well, too. But I feel the best in Gel Kayanos. I pronate more with my left foot, am pretty neutral on the right."

Neutral cushioned running shoes? I'm getting 2 new pairs of shoes to alternate. I have decided on the Asics Cumulus 9 for my first pair and am undecided on my second pair. I'm leaning towards the saucony progrid triumph or the nike air pegasus. I'm open to others though. I have medium to high arches.

Chester replied: "I have these Adidas shoes and I love them. They support my high arches very well. I run 2-3 miles a day, and my feet never hurt!!!!"

What's the best type of running shoe for moderate overpronation and neutral arch? What's the best type of running shoe for moderate overpronation and neutral arch? I am trying to look for new running shoes. I am picking up running again slowly after having "runner's knee" and am looking for the best type of shoe that will give me lots of cushioning and also work with some slight overpronation. i heard that brooks and asics were good. i was wondering about adidas and of any other specific type of shoe out there that may be worth giving a try.

Auriex replied: "I'd recommend going to a sports/running shoe store with staff knowledgeable enough to help answer your questions. I live in San Diego and when I got back into running I went to a place here (plug plug: San Diego Running Institute) that put my feet through a barrage of tests before they gave me my running shoe. They had me walk across a pressurized mat (hooked up to a computer) to tell how weight was distributed across the bottom of my foot as I walked. This along with other measurements helped them to pick out a running shoe that worked great for me. Not sure where you live or if there is an equivalent store, but I'd ask around. Sorry, I don't know any brands off the top of my head to help with your problems."

Can you suggest a shoe similar to Asics Gel Cumulus, is Asics 2120 a good substitute? I'm a beginning runner with a neutral foot, and am running on 9 mo old Gel Cumuls. I run a couple of miles 3 times a week, on treadmill or pavement. The Cumulus are getting harder to find, and a sales person suggested the Asics 2120 line, but I'm not sure with what I've read online. Are they good for neutral runners like me?

T C replied: "The Asics 2120 is a great shoe. It will work very well for neutral runners."

What is the best running shoe for high arches and neutral stride when running 30+ miles a week? I have run three half marathons this summer with my Nike Air pegasus 26+ and at first they felt great but then I developed piriformis syndrome and now they make the outside of my feet hurt. I have been recommended asics but am not knowledgeable enough to go buy a pair. I have very narrow feet with high arches and tend to run a little bit towards the outside of my foot. Please help!

gr8ss4opper replied: ""If you have a high arch, your footprint will curve decidedly inward, making the middle of your foot look very skinny. If you are just examining your foot instead of your footprint, you will notice a high and definite arch on your foot. If you push your hand against the bottom of your foot, your foot will not succumb to the pressure easily; the arch will probably remain rigid and may never touch your hand at all. If this is the case, you may supinate. Supination, or underpronating, is when your feet roll outwards as you run. This is the least common of the three types. You need to look for flexible shoes with a soft midsole to act as shock absorbers for your body. Look for the keywords "flexible" or "cushioned" when shopping for running shoes. " I did a search on supination and got the following thread on runnersworld.com. Based on all this, it sounds like the Mizuno Wave Rider or the Asics Nimbus 11 might do the trick, maybe with an orthotic insert to support the high arch. I'm not a supinator, so I can't give you any first hand advice. The folks on the runnersworld.com forums are pretty knowledgeable though, so you might even ask this question there. Most will tell you to go to a running specialist store to have your gait analyzed though, which is probably the best bet."

Do you have any opinions on any of the following women's neutral running shoes? 1. Asics Nimbus 10 2. Brooks Ghost 3. Brooks Glycerin 4. Newton Gravity Trainer 5. Nike Air Zoom Vomero +2 6. Nike Air Zoom Vomero +3 7. Mizuno Wave Creation 8 8. Mizuno Wave Creation 9 9. Saucony Progrid Triumph 4 10. Saucony Progrid Triumph 5 11. Saucony Progrid Triumph 6 (just released on November 1) Personal opinions/experience only, please. Please do not link or copy/paste online reviews. Thank you. Thank you. Men's opinions are welcome, too ;)

Runs mouth & butt off replied: "I can't go neutral bc I'm particial. there are people who swear by a shoe but I believe you need the shoe that fits best by you and that's only done by personal fitting and consultation. I've done the saucony's, new balances etc but bc I'm over-pronated, flat footed I will swear by my asics gels 1140's bc I won't get shin splints, or knee problems."

ezrunnerp replied: "I wear a lot of Asics and Mizunos. They seem to be brands that most of my friends wear as well. Although you aren't looking for this answer, the best way is to just try some on, and run in them in the store. What someone here might like might not work for you personally."

canny2269 replied: "I work at a specialty running store called Fleet Feet Sports, and i can say that all those shoes are good. I would recommend you visit a store like that and have them put you through the personal fit process. In this process they will do a video analysis of your gait and get a good look at your feet. From that they will bring out 2-3 pairs of shoes for you to try on. The problem with asking others what they think is that everyone's FEET are different, and each shoe company uses different molds and lasts to make their shoes, so you just have to try on different shoes to determine what YOUR FEET like. Also there are some other neutral shoes not on your list that are just as compatible that the stores might have that YOUR FEET could love. And the reason for the emphasis on YOUR FEET is cause YOUR FEET pick the shoes not oyur eyes or anyone else."

What are some good women's running shoes that you would recommend? I currently have a pair of Nikes but they haven't held up like I had hoped. I usually do about 10kms a weeks and have a mostly neutral foot position. I'm looking around the $70-80USD range. I've been told Asics are good.

topback35 replied: "Asics are my favorite b/c they come in so many different shapes and sizes to fit to your needs. they always have a lot of cushioning so your not pounding away at the pavement. i would also recommend saucony shoes, they are very much like asics in the styles and sizes they offer. i think that nike and addias are alright shoes but they dont really concentrate much on running as much as the other two companies. i hope this helped."

Abby replied: "Go to a running store that analyzing your running style on a treadmill and get the shoe that is the best for you. several stores have treadmills and will provide this service."

Missy 22 replied: "My opinion is asics, but that is me. If you are serious about running, and plan to make it (or keep it) a part of your life, go to a specialty running store and have them find your perfect pair. Good running shoes are often made for specific foot types, as well as need. If you don't know what type of foot you have, you should really get it checked out. If you run too long in the wrong pair of shoes you are bound to get injured, or at the least experience discomfort. Here is a link to some specialty running stores. If there isn't one near you, you can ask a normal sports store, or check your phone book. There are a lot more out there than are actually listed here. --1048-0,00.html"

Jewell replied: "I like the asics ds trainer. They are very light and are good for long distancers."

rs2577 replied: "Brooks are the best for me. They are made just for running, and you can usually get them only at running stores. They solved so many of my running problems. Unfortunately, the colors are usually hideous. I've gotten over it, though, since they feel so good to run in!"

Kelsey replied: "nike - i think - i have been running for 24 years now and i love nike- i have never had a problem with my body or feet from nike running sneakers... nike air..nike shox..nike!"

Molly replied: "New Balence are very nice for recreational running."

DaveNTempe replied: "Many women are finding that the Mizuno brand of running shoes offer some solid and durable shoes now. Check them out at: and at most running stores. The current Mizuno Wave Rider 10 and the Mizuno Inspire 3 models have been given high marks by the Runner's World magazine. Both run about $80-90."
