I am a cross country & track runner (so i run long distances)
the arches of my feet are REALLY low (my feet are pretty flat) & my low arches also cause my feet to turn inward when i run, which, in turn, gives me shin splints.
so, i know i need a motion control shoe.
i went to one sports store, where i was told that good shoes for me would be Asics Gel Nimbus VIII. THen, i went to another store where i was told that the best shoes for me would be Asics GT-2120.
The Asics GT-2120 have a piece of dark grey material near where the arch is (the rest of the sole is white), which, the guy in the store told me, means that the material in the arch is stronger than the rest of the sole, so it will prevent my foot from turning inward. he said unless a shoe has that grey piece near the arch, it will not be good for my foot type/running style.
The Asics Gel Nimbus VIII do not have this grey patch, however i was told at the other store that they would provide arch support
