That should help you out!!





Before you buy new shoes make sure you get the info on the type you need. Supinators and pronators need totally different shoes.
Reply:Depending on how the foot rolls from heel to toe during each step should be determined by your podiatrist. Mine do the same as yours but I don't wear out my shoes as fast as you because I am not all that active in running or sports. Sorry that I cannot help you further.
Reply:I am a supinator as well. I used to kill the outside heel of my running shoes.





What I did nearly twenty years ago was to shorten my stride and land on the forefoot instead of the heel of my shoe.





Running with a heel strike is known as "Running with you foot on the brake". Imagine your momentum hitting your heel (and traveling up to your knee, hip, etc) as opposed to landing on your forefoot and the momentum carrying over into the next stride.





I now very slowly wear out the outside of the front of my shoes and my heals show virtually zero wear (I only wear the shoes for running). I also don't have to buy shoes with real foot stabilization as a result. Much cheaper to buy.





Plus I got a sh**tload faster!
Reply:There's a place in Newberry Park in So-Cal (parallels south side of freeway just north of In-and-Out) that has a treadmill type thing that you run on that tells you how you're running and if the shoe you have on corrects the way you put down your foot.





Here's the place I get my at: http://phidippidesencino.com/





They do a great job of fitting. A friend of mine that was running the LA Marathon a while back bought a pair from them the day before (a big no no) and they ran the marathon without blisters.
Reply:visit your podiatrist for an exam and answers.
