ÿþI also agree that reebok classic the shoe fitting process is stuffed, but as Kevin points out in another comment, it's not easy to offer alternatives, and I realize this. But, because alternatives are hard does not mean we should be content with the status quo when studies do suggest that basing shoe type almost exclusively off of things like arch height and pronation does not seem to be of any benefit to the runner. ASICS may not use the terms neutral, stability, and motion control, but I can assure you that shoe stores still use these categories, and runners are still fit to Asics shoes based upon them (my wife was).

There are many runners who would happily serve as guinea pigs for novel shoe designs, and I count myself as one of them. I test mens reebok trainers more shoes than I should, and probably am messing myself up in the process as I don't acclimate to any of them. But, if I can provide some at least subjective and maybe a bit of objective detail on what makes then different, then I reebok pump hope that I have helped in some way. If Asics should decide to expand their selection of shoes that might be similar to the Piranha, send me a pair, I'll be happy to give some feedback.Pete where do I start? Lots odf questions so I will try.

Biomechanics and science should be forefront  build the best product for the runner based on sound science as you suggest that really IS what we do it is the only way it can work. "I do realize that reebok shoes products have to sell, but sometimes maybe taking a risk on a novel product is worth it because it's the right thing to do" Pete a part of my job is to try to identify injury trends in the community, and then see if I can design a research project to understand why that is happening. Sometimes it results in shoe technology that helps, sometime is has nothing to do with shoes.

We set aside a budget of several million dollars, and went to the Univerity of Melbourne to meet with Professor Kim Bennell (a woman), the head of the Centre for Health, Exercise and Sports Medicine. There, we mapped out a research project that was to take 4 years, and headed up by the extraordinary mind of Dr. Adam Bryant, a biomechanist at CHESM. I will not bore you with the details, but the research yielded 3 papers, all published, and if you are interested, I will send them to you.

The Gel Evolution 6? reebok cross trainers Its listed as a motion control on RW. Here's the description: "The Asics Evolution 6 has become a revolution for the motion control category. While the shoe continues to provide maximum pronation control, the Evolution has never felt so good. With top shelf upper materials and enhancements to fit details, the Evolution 6 has a luxurious feel around the foot. A broader base continues to deliver a stable ride, but now feels ultra smooth. For a great running experience, it is time to get out of those clunky motion control shoes of the past and get into the Evolution 6.
