Picking a Running Shoe

If I traditionally wear out my shoes tread on the outside, traditional stability shoes would overcorrect towards that direction right? If I want something supportive, I should just get a well-cushioned neutral trainer, since traditional support shoes would tend to roll my feet the wrong way?

      Go to a specialist running store and ask them to help you fit a shoe.

      Extremely dumb advice.

            They're probably going to recommend a $130 neutral trainer like the Asics Cumulus

        May as well go to the local running store to get sized and see if they give you any info on your foot and stride. However buying from them usually a scam. They will push the same overpriced hokas, brooks saucony etc and don't usually carry major brands. Nothing wrong with those brands either but there is more out there and shoe fit is very personal. I have just bought a lot of pairs to find what works for me(personally new balance best fit and low cost trainers)

    Just wear wear what feels comfy. It sounds common sense but even the researchers that spend months on this stuff have found that comfort is the biggest predictor of how biomechanical suitable a shoe is.

    > traditional stability shoes would overcorrect towards that direction right?
    Stability shoes have been proven to actually do what they say they do so I think you have a point, OP.

    Honestly I just get a mid-range normie shoe from the regular sports shop.

    I just but the cheapest shoes, they last around 4-6 months, I run 5 days a week, for around 5-10Km.

    Im a 100kg fat frick who goes for a 5k every time he can (3-4 times a week atm). I just used some old addidas shoes I had that were prettt comfy, but they wore out and I switched to some cheap ones from decathlon and they arent as comfy but its still better than the worn out sole on my old shoes
    Seems like anything you buy will wear out so adjust according to budget

    You may have an overpronated foot arch so stability shoes are the recommended choice. Alternatively, you could try getting a pair of good quality insoles and slot them into neutral shoes to give your feet support. Having said all that, it would be best to go to a running shoes shop and get the assistant to do an arch and gait analysis on your fee.

    Minimalist shoes, fix your running technique yourself - overcorrecting with artificial cushioning will only mask the problem

    I would get Cross Country racing flats or spikes with the spikes taken out. Slowly condition yourself to them but it feels amazing knowing I'll never have to replace these because there is no cushioning to be broken down.

    Zero drop, barely any cushioning, enough tread to stop you from getting cut or anything else, lightweight, wide toe box - multitude of good things. It'll punish bad form but make you better for it

    I have these.
    > Extremely comfy
    > Breathable
    > Cheap
    > Feel very stable / secure

    I haven't owned any other pairs of running shoes and I've only done 50km in them so far, so wtf do I know?
