Pronators...

New Balance 860 V3

But I agree that you should get checked even at another store. It took trying 3 pairs of shoes, and being video recorded running for 30 seconds wearing each one before the person helping me was satisfied with the support.

I solved my pronation (is that a word? lol) by getting into Chi Running. I used to overpronate but last time I was fitted for shoes at my LRS they said I longer pronate.

To answer your question I am wearing Brooks Pure Cadences.

If that's the shoe they fitted you with after they did the video analysis then they must be correct.

Was that the ONLY shoe option they gave you? When I go to my running store they give me at least 4 options to try -- all different brands but the same type of shoe. If you just got the shoes you might be able to bring them back to the store and either return them or ask them why it was recommended for your specific gait since you heard it's the wrong shoe.

The running store KNOWS shoes and feet. I'm guessing they fit you properly.

This.

If you're still having issues, it could be a form problem, not a shoe problem.

Check out goodformrunning.com or look into Chi running.

I did get fitted at a running store. They did video gait analysis and this is what they recommended. I've been having it band issues though so I'm thinking of checking into another shoe.

I mostly wear Brooks Ravenna for my light over pronation. I also have a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspires that work well.

For the IT band - get a foam roller and start rolling the IT band daily.

We all pronate. It's part of the natural shock absorbtion for your body when walking or running. Over pronation or under pronation (supination) can lead to problems. I assume you mean you overpronate, given the shoes they recommended.

Yes, it's possible even with the analysis that those are not the best shoe for you. IT band pain can be caused by several things, of which overpronation is only one. The cliche "we are all an experiment of one" does come into play with both shoes and IT band issues.

have you tried stretching the IT band, rolling it and other treatments? Have you reviewed your exercise logs to determine if the IT band may be an overuse issue?

you could also get a pair of inserts that will reduce pronation a bit more and see if that makes a difference either way. It would be another data point that would cost less than a new pair of shoes.

Good luck!

After *completely* messing up my left foot this spring when I attempted to start a running program while wearing cheap Walmart hiking boots, the doctor and physical therapists told me that I was a pretty major pronator. Once I was finally able to walk again (yeah, it was THAT bad), I went to a very good shoe store that specializes in running shoes. I told them what happened, they looked at my foot and my stride, and they had me try on some Saucony Omni 12 shoes. I fell in love with them the moment I tried them on, and I've been running more and more and my foot feels perfectly fine.
I love my Sauconys.

I underpronate and wear Brooks Ghost.

Your IT band issues may have zip to do with your shoes and more to do with weak muscles in that area (inner thighs and glutes) Do a lot of rolling and stretching and exercises to strengthen those muscles like side leg lifts, squats, etc.

I pimp out the Brooks Adrenaline to anyone I can. Love those shoes. Also heard good things about the Saucony Omni for overpronation.

Same here. I LOVE my Adrenalines! I was fitted at a running store after seeing a PT for an ankle injury. I also wear Brooks Pure Cadence for daily shoes, and they're awesome. 100% recommend checking out Brooks shoes.

I love my Brooks, but other people prefer other shoes.

I wear Brooks Adrenaline and I've not had any pain since I started wearing them. I used to wear a Nike shoe and I had shin splints, great toe pain, and pain on the top of my foot.
