    Any fellow supinators got a recommendation for a new pair of runners for DCM this year? Over the last few years I've used Pegasus, Brooks Ghost, NB 880's, etc. Am thinking of Mizuno Wave Riders or another pair of Brooks Ghost possibly. Thanks.

    Brooks Ghost or Glycerin are probably the best choices for most supinators.

    I've had a few pairs of Brooks ghost and liked them. I am currently running in the wave riders and they would be my shoe of choice atm.
    I tried the Glycerin for my long runs but found them clunky and they didn't seem to have the level of arch support I was after.
    Saucony Triumphs are another option but they have a lower heel drop which my Achilles don't like

    Saucony Triumph ain't worked for me either.Are you a supinator on both feet and how badly?
    Flexibility in the forefoot is important,if a heel striker the wave plate can flex a little too much so Mizuno hit and miss.
    1080 work well for supinators.

    On both feet - left foot very pronounced. Still a heel striker, not as pronounced as I once was though. The 1080 is NB right?
