looking for runners suitable for underpronation and flat feet

    im looking for runners suitable for underpronation and flat feet

    i did a search on runnersworld shoe finder and it recommended these cushioned shoes
    brooks defyance 4
    nike air pegasus 26 and 27
    asics gel nimbuss 11 and 12
    nb 730 758 and 759

    my problem is most of these seem suitable for people with normal or high arches

    just wondering has anyone here the same foot type and what would they recommend and where to buy. i checked elverys online but they dont stock the ones recommended by the finder apart from the asics gel nimbuss which are 125euro.

    am hoping to get something around 50-60euro. is that unrealistic?

    thanks in advance for any help

    First thing id ask you is how do you know you under pronate?
    Have you ever had a gait analysis or is this self diagnosis?
    The brooks dyad work well for people with flat feet as the platform is
    a linear and suits falt feet.the shoe also has two pods which only come into play if needed under the arch of the foot.On a negative side you might not feel they are flexible enough depending on how much you supinate.

    What footwear have you worn in the past?
    What injuries if any have you had?

    ive gone over on my ankles a couple of times and was told by my physio that i underpronate cos when my feet were rested over the end of a bench they turn significantly inwards.

    ive had gait analysis done before at amphibian but they said i needed a neutral shoe. i wasnt convinced due to the ankle problems and how worn my heels were and the physios opinion.

    basically i walk on the outside of my feet. the heels of my shoes are worn down considerably on the outside.

    ive checked runways site and elverys but havent seen the brooks dyad.

    where is best to buy. is it wise to buy blind from an online site. the prices are so dear here compared to the states

    Sadly, yes, prices are high here compared to the States.

    No, it is not wise, in my opinion to buy running shoes blind from an online site.

    You should visit Elverys. I think they have a larger range instore than on their website.

    Also, if you go to Elverys in Dundrum, a new running shop has opened in Snow and Rock next door. I have no idea how good they are, but you might get more choices before you decide.
