reconstruction of Mizuno's Alchemy shoe

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

My running was evaluated a few years back at a running store. As a neutral runner, the evaluator gave me a couple of choices of shoes. The Mizuno Alchemy I chose at the time might have been one of its first models. Now I read that current model #'s 7 or 8 are for over pronators. Do you know if the shoe has changed over time from being for a neutral runner to an over pronating runner? As a distance runner I don't want to cause injury due to improper fitting shoes. If the shoe has been reconstructed, do you know of a current equivalent neutral shoe?

Thanks,

Scott

If your looking to stick with mizuno I'm almost positive the wave rider is neutral.

Tha Alchemy has never been for a neutral runner. The Alchemy has always been a mid to high support shoe, ever since the first model. Are you sure you are a neutral runner? Most people think they are, but ~80% of runners aren't... you might want to get your feet looked at again.

However, If you like Mizuno and want to stick to a neutral shoe, then go with the Wave Rider or the Wave Creation.
