Shoes and Stability

    Hi guys,

    I'm an overpronator and have been running in Asics Kayanos for the past two years. I bought Saucony Hurricane 11's today. Just wondering if anyone has any preference or knowledge about what is better and why? I've done gait analysis and all that. I just wanted a change in shoe and the new asymmetrical lacing in Kayanos drives me nuts! Saucony kind of remind me of Nike Vomeros a few years back. I'm a mid distance runner. Thanks!

    "What is better" is a very subjective thing! If you're comfortable with the Hurricanes and you feel they suit you well, then that's the most important thing really. You're comparing them to the Vomero - do you like a very cushioned shoe?

    I'd be similar to you in that I'd worn Kayanos for most of the last two years, but didn't much like the new version - with the asymmetric lacing being a factor. These days I'm alternating between the Brooks Adrenaline 10 for longer runs and Nike Lunarglide for shorter runs, faster runs and racing.

    Seems like there's a good few of us abandoning their Kayanos. My 15s are just about to go into the bin and haven't been hearing good things about the 16s so went and got a pair of Nike Structure Triax. Haven't put a lot of miles into them but those I have I find comfortable, they're nicely cushioned and light.

    Not sure about the Saucony Hurricane but I use the Saucony Pro Grid Guide which are a stability shoe and find them great. Getting over 700 miles before feeling like they're on the way out.

    Excellent choice. On my 4th pair. Very very comfortable. have had no blisters or pain since i got them.
