My mind is still blown away from what the running store told me. Glad you like the Inspires :) They have worked well for me through several races! I guess it is not time for the Wave Riders in the races...Amy Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377968154311447911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-57233217389003366422013-05-30T09:13:52.970-04:002013-05-30T09:13:52.970-04:00I had one done at the running store a few months a...I had one done at the running store a few months ago. And in August of 2011, I had a video gait analysis with a sports chiro. The only thing he noticed was my hip dropping slightly- which was causing the pronation. He gave me a bunch of hip strengthening exercises which helped, but I haven't been doing them lately. . .

That may shed some light.<br /><br />Good luck!Adrienne Langelier, MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557342659549394877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-82267397768659340762013-05-23T11:56:05.614-04:002013-05-23T11:56:05.614-04:00I'm also slowly transitioning toward more neut...I'm also slowly transitioning toward more neutral shoes, though part of it is that I'm wearing orthotics which add some support, so e.g. the Inspires (which used to be my main shoe) are too supportive. The Elixir is my usual shoe now, plus the Saucony Kinvara for racing halfs and under (again, I used to run in the Mirage but the Kinvara plus orthotics works well). <br /><br />I still have an old pair of Brooks Adrenaline ASRs that used to be my trail shoes, though, that I wear as general walk-around-town shoes!Ilanaramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946657695944888535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-50074327132660089202013-05-21T10:40:58.765-04:002013-05-21T10:40:58.765-04:00Reading your shoe journey was super interesting to...Reading your shoe journey was super interesting to me as I feel like I'm just barely aware of shoes and how they work. :p I am currently in love with my Brooks Pure Connects. They were awesome for my first half and training, are perfectly narrow for my foot and light - and ALREADY discontinued for the Pure Connect 2s. *hmpf* I basically have been buying one new pair a paycheck until they are gone. :P<br /><br />Good luck with your new Mizunos!!!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350343557634674237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-40417368811584944682013-05-20T19:57:42.501-04:002013-05-20T19:57:42.501-04:00I've ran in the Adrenalines and like them too....I've ran in the Adrenalines and like them too.

But they work for me! I also have a Saucony Mirage, which is meant for mid-foot strikers, but I am only running 2-3 miles at a time in them because I know they can cause injury if you aren't careful.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-70371641893647323022013-05-19T13:12:59.255-04:002013-05-19T13:12:59.255-04:00Interesting-- a couple of years ago I switched ent...Interesting-- a couple of years ago I switched entirely to mizuno creation from brooks adrenaline, I didn't like the changes they made in the shoe and the creation feels a lot lighter. Also it seems to me that mizunos in general are better for narrow feet with high arches, which I have. <br /><br />Maybe post-op I'll try a mizuno midfoot one. I've been trying to do as much as I can to pre-hab so I'll get back into running as quickly as possible... searching for new shoes would be a nice distraction too!JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730134189350353270noreply@blogger.com
