Running Shoe Guide
2015
There is plenty information and misinformation in regards to which running shoes are the best. All I can say is that there is a running shoe out there that suits you and your running technique and foot posture. Whether you want to spend $120 or $320 there is always an option that will fit your foot. Below is some of my favourite runners of the moment. There is a good mix of styles and brands. If you need running shoe advice, book in for an appointment and we can discuss your running goals and how your foot posture and technique relates to the types of running shoes that would be suitable. This list is not exhaustive and models change regularly.

A midfoot/guidance shoe. Great for the midfoot to forefoot striker who lose stability through the midfoot at midstance and propulsion. A great all round shoe no matter where your foot lands.
Flag ship Asics runner with moderate support for people who have a pronated foot posture. A nice blend of medial stabilty and cushion under foot.
Another great neutral Brooks runner. Slightly cheaper than the Glycerine, but still offering great lateral stabilty and cushion under foot.
For the high arched or laterally unstable people out there. A little heavy, but if you are prone to rolling your ankles from hypermobilty or have a cuboid/peroneal injury - this may be the shoe for you. One of a kind in the running shoe industry as far as I have seen.
The original neutral shoe from Nike. A more structured shoe than the Free and Lunar range. Also see the Nike Vomero - one of the softest feels in footwear.
A traditional cushion/neutral shoe. Durable forefoot and rearfoot cushioning.
A different approach to support is offered from Mizuno. A structured thermoplastic in the form of a wave. The closer the wave pattern the more stability. Said to be lighter than it's competitors for the same level of support.
A version of the midfoot/guidance style shoe. Comparable to the Brooks Ravenna in terms of forefoot to midfoot stability.
