thanks! I'm hearing the best feedback about new balance also

BROOKS!!!!

Go to Zappo's and check them out.

I have narrow feet and can get the best fit with New Balance. I've worn NB for many years.

_{Brooks Brooks Brooks all the way. I wear the Adrenaline, I have wide, flat slightly inward rolling feet - which would fit the description of the feet of many heavy people - and they are brilliant running shoes. I am on my 5thor 6th pair.}

_{But really, itsd impossible for anyone else to advise. Different shoes fit different people and whilst I would certainly have some derisive things to say about NB shoes that's based only on my feet and my experience. I know Asics are good shoes too but I find them way too narrow and not good for me at all. I think NB, Brooks, Asics are all well made good quality shoes though. Generally, with shoes, you get what you pay for.}

I agree with Brooks! I love mine and they really have helped with my plantar fasciitis. That's what my podiatrist at MGH in Boston recommended. I would go with a motion-control running shoe. Also, they tend to be a little deeper, so they're good if you need to fit in orthotics like I do. Good luck!

Do not use a running shoe.they only offer support for heel strike,ball push off.get pair of training shoes or cross training shoe.they will support lateral movement and you feet,knees and hips will thank you!

Brooks " The Beast" is what my Dr. Recommended .
