The best running shoe is the one that feels most comfortable on your foot. Dr. Nigg, from the University of Calgary, called it the “comfort filter” and over time it has been the only factor that seems to make any difference in running shoe choice and injury prevention. The same holds for the addition shoe inserts (or not using inserts). Altering pronation, supporting the heel, cushioning, and other modifications have not made much difference. So wear the shoe that is comfortable on your foot.
Interesting stuff, among lots of other injury prevention advice from the IOC Sports Injury and Illness Prevention Conference.
