I'm been hitting the gym hard the last few months and the soles my Adidas running shoes started to wear on the outer heals, making them a bit unstable on the treadmill. When I was in high school the doctor said I would need special shoe inserts if I wanted to play sports because I had short heels and pronation. This popped back into my head when I decided to get some new shoes, so I went over to a local running shop and forked over $40 for a foot analysis. They did all this crazy stuff where I had to step barefoot into some foam, they stretched my toes back and forth, bent my foot in half, made me crouch with my hand on my knee, stand on one leg, etc. They ran some kind of analysis and then gave me a list of shoes to go with.
I'm think I'm going to go with the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 or 21s, but there's at $40 price difference between the two. They also recommended Asics Pulse 11s, but because I have fairly large big toes they said the Brooks toe box might be more accomodating.
Anyone know anything about running shoes? I've never heard of Brooks before but they were really praising the brand. Asics I've seen in dept stores but assumed they were just like New Balance or Fila.
