I am in the market for a new pair of shoes and I am considering what to buy. I have high arches but over pronate leading to heavy tread usage on the outside of both of my heels. Over the last year I have used 3 pairs of shoes -

a pair of Brooks Addiction 6 2005 model which I have run 410 miles in and there is extensive wear in these I don't think I should do any more running with these.

a pair of Saucony Trigon which I have run 548 miles in and I am not using any more. They are warn with no rubber tread on the outside of the heels left.

I am still using a pair of New Balance 1060's which are great but I actually find the toe space is a bit tight for my pair of size 9's and this has lead once or twice to bruised toes but I still prefer these to any others for races as they seem a little lighter and not so stiff as the Brooks.

I usually buy over the internet from Wiggle, Sportsshoes Unlimited or Bourne Sports. I get lost in all the technology that running shoes claim to have and I tend to go back to tried and trusted brands such as New Balance.
