"The" shoe for over-pronatorMay 26, 2009
By ManuT
"ManuT"
I have been doing some home fitness things here and there and then decided to start running. So, went to the store and got myself a Nike Torch 4. The fot was good, but the first few days were painful so I started researching if it was me or the shoe. Turned out it was both. I found out that I am an moderate over-pronator (those who don't know this, check internet before starting running), and the shoe is the wrong one. So, to save the shoe I had already, I bought a Dr.Scholls sports sole and tried it, but the pains were there when running. So, again researched and bought the Spenco total support sole, which felt a litle better but I still had pains while running.
So, again I went to 15 different stores (specialty ones like footlocker, champs etc) and tried all shoes for over-pronation, one by one, all brands, Nike, Ascis, Brooks, New Balance etc. Some felt a little better than others but did not get the "yeah" feeling. Then went to a bigger mall with all the showrooms, and found Adidas. I wanted to try Addidas before but the stores did not have my size (7.5 - 8). As soon as I had tried response stability, I had the "yeah" factor. These were comfortable and gave a relaxed feeling to the feet and ankle. First I tried 7.5 which was exact fit, but then chose 8 as for running its recommended to take 1/2 size bigger. I tried the Supernova too, and they were feeling good too, but I chose to give response a try and thought if these don't work out I will give supernova a try.
First day in running and I felt the difference. The muscles, and the ankle were relaxed. The stability and cushioning were excellent and the shape for my foot was excellent. I ran about 4-5 miles and felt nothing,. no pains. Now after a week, I am very happy to write this as I though I would not be able to run, and only have to be confined to home fitness. Turned out it was the shoe and Response is working out well for me. I would like to try Supernova too sometime as it is a higher end line from Adidas, and should be more comfortable (Adidas website rates it higher in cushioning and stability), but right now I am quite satisfied. I will try the Spence sole to see the difference and update this again.
I have thrown all pair of shoes (except dress ones), because these are so comfortable in daily wear too and don't tire you when you go out for hours of walking/shopping in the malls. Before I used to get tired after 1-2 hours of walking and didn't know why, now I know.
For everyone who wants to run, or over-pronates, try this one before anything, you won't need anything else.
Happy running.

Comfortable ShoeJun 17, 2009
By William F. Cleveland
After walking in them for several weeks, the shoes are nicely cushioned and comfortable. I like the style, and how they breathe. Although they seem durable, it will be interesting to know how well they are doing 12-18 months from now.
