    Saucony Running Shoes: Hurricane 11 v. Paramount?

    The Paramounts stability is basically non-existent so it's actually more of a neutral shoe. Very nice feeling shoe, but not necessarily worth the money. The Hurricanes XI's on the other hand, are a very stable shoe, so there is a lot more guidance as compared to the Trigon Guide 5. It's another...

    The Skylons are very neutral shoes. Very flexible + no medial posting = no stability. The shoes are very soft, and run narrow and small. bolok, as for you, a shoe you might look in to is the Brooks Dyad 5. It is build on Brooks' Linear Last (much like the Beast or Addiction), so it...

    Yes, there is such thing as too much stability. If a shoe is too stable it will not allow for the body's natural rate of pronation (everybodyhas some roll in their stride), it's just too much or too little that can cause some problems. In all actuality, the custom orthodic should do most of...

    I am on the fence about picking up a pair of the Five Fingers. I haven't had a chance to try them on yet, but the concept is pretty sweet. If I find themfor the right price I will probably scoop up a pair. Has anybody heard anything about the ECCO BIOM? Pretty interesting concept, just not sure...

    I personally have not had a chance to try the Five Fingers, but they do look really interesting. Kind of taking the Free concept one step further. I worked with Nike at a recent race expo and got to try the new Vomeros (just like the old ones, but not quite as sloppy) and the new Free 5.0 v4...

    With normal running shoes (for roads, track, treadmills, etc.), the stability shoes are made to support and "correct" your natural flaws on a flatsurface. Since most people that run do so on a mostly flat or level surface (understand that there will be some crowning of roads and sidewalks), the...

    Best running shoe on the market?

    Don't get wrong, the Vomero is a nice shoe, but it's kind of sloppy. The medial side is a little softer than the lateral side, which tends to makeeverybody look like they overpronate, which is a little problematic. This shoe also seems to blow out a little faster than some others. It's SO soft...

    Best running shoe on the market?

    Puma, Reebok, Karhu, Newton, Etonic, Zoot, Fila, K-Swiss... just kidding. I am sure there are countless more that I can't think of. I actualy liked Reebok's running shoes, although my store only carried them for a short time. Reebok is getting rid of all of their specialty tech reps,because...

    Best running shoe on the market?

    I run in New Balance 859's, but I overpronate quite a bit. The Trance's are a really comfortable, their upper has very little overlays (like theCreation) but I believe Brooks' execution is much better. My only problem is the stability in the 8's, the 7's medial post was a lot more firm andmore...
