I need the special shoes because I%26#039;ve increased my mileage and am now having intense knee pain . .

I need to buy a special pair of running shoes with inserts for overpronators - where can I find a specialist?
Try Foot Solutions. They are a national chain with a great system where they measure your foot for orthotic inserts that fit perfectly. Also, they sell really great footwear for exercise that feel, well, dreamy!
Reply:It is best to have a shoe made for you. This is usually done in a foot clinic that is located in a hospital. In Toronto, there is a clinic at both Sunnydale and Wellesley hospitals. There will be a doctor in the hospital who will examine your foot thoroughly. He will write out his suggestions for the foot clinic. This may involve special shoes, orthotics, or both. Often, the cost is covered by insurance.
Reply:You need a specialty running store. Look online for one in your area. Just because you are an overpronator doesn%26#039;t necessarily mean you need inserts. And don%26#039;t listen to people when they tell you what kind of shoes to get. Just because a shoe works for one person, doesn%26#039;t mean it will work for you. A professional needs to analyze you gate and fit you in a proper shoe.
Reply:I am an overpronating runner as well. An excellent running shoe brand and model for overpronators is the BROOKS BEAST line.
Reply:Check this website - they have a tool to recommend shoes based on your running style, mileage, and weight. They also sell inserts.


Shoe stores that specialize in running shoes, like Fleet Feet, have people trained to help you find shoes that fit.
