Shoe Recommendations

Everyone’s feet are unique and there is no one best shoe for everyone. Running shoes are categorized into minimalist, neutral, stability, and motion control categories. The vast majority of runners will find that a neutral shoe is best for them. Those with some injuries or foot types (pronators for example) are better served with a stability shoe. Motion control shoes should be used by those with specific foot alignment or motion problems. Research has demonstrated higher injury rates in runners with normal foot posture and who use stability or motion control shoes. Therefore, we recommend reserving stability and motion control shoes for those who have specific needs. See our clinic for more information about your foot type. As a general rule, use “fit” and “comfort” as your guide to selecting the best shoe for your feet.
