Supination with high arch

Wow, I just read all the typo's I have in that post - no edit button? sorry guys..

Try the Mizuno Rider or the Mizuno Precision - great shoes for a high arch. The Creation is built for a heavier runner.

The precision is a light weight trainer which means it does not have as much cushion. I suggest the rider and if your over 180 pounds the Creation.

Do you have plantar fascia issues?

I supinate, but have normal arches (they don't collapse when I run) but have very bowed legs. I've found that I pick up more aches and pains when running in heavier, more cushioned shoes. I also tear through them quicker (280 miles on a pegasus and I completely wore through the rubber on the lateral side. 300 miles for a wave rider). I also noticed the extra cushion (and thickness/stiffness?) messed with my calves.

I've been running in Brooks Ghosts with pretty good success, though I'm probably going to switch since the Ghost 2's have a slightly higher arch and a little more torsional rigidity (the higher arch would probably work well for you). I also liked the wave precisions, they lasted longer and felt better than the riders despite being thinner and less cushioned. I've also had success with marathon racing flats (flats in the 7-9 oz range) such as the adizero CS and gel-ohana (a local running store somehow still had some in stock). For me, thinner, lighter, and more flexible shoes are much better. I found that the thicker, more cushioned shoes often had more torsional rigidity/support due to their increased thickness which then caused me to supinate more. However, I think I'm able to train in these lighter shoes because I'm light on my feet (I often surprise people when I run around them) and weigh 130 so cushioning isn't much of an issue for me.

Most runners with high archs do supinate. Some othr shoes not mentioned are the Asics Nimbus, Cumulus, and Landreth, Saucony Ride, Brooks Glycerin and Defyance, and the New Balance 1063.

I also supinate pretty badly. Of the shoes listed above, all are excellent, though I would steer away from the Nimbus, I actually found that one to be so "mooshy" that I supinated even more. Landreth is great, but you need to like a more firm shoe. I recently started really liking that one. No bells or whistles to it and not loads of cushion.

1. run more mileage, slower, with better form. Look up Jack Daniels 180 Stride/min theory... it will help.

2. find a pair of shoes and stick with it for awhile, your feet, like everything else in your body, will try their best to adjust. stop experimenting with new shoes and get a good base- even if that means switching shoes every 200-300 miles. High mileage is extremely underrated when it comes to injury prevention.

YEAH YEAH! If you get injured running 30 mpw, next time try 130 and you'll be golden!
