Run Run Away

Question:

I am 46, run about 10-12 miles per week, weigh about 184 (I need to lose some) and am in training for 5K’s this summer.  I am bow legged and have excessive wear on the outside of my shoes.  My arch is medium to medium high.  An on-line dealer suggested the Saucony Omni which feels fine, but I believe it’s really more for a overpronator which I was led to believe was my condition. But examining my shoes, and footprint, I think I need something else.  I love Saucony shoes.  Any recommendations to help my dilemma.  I am just getting over a stint of PF so I want to make sure I get the right shoes.  If not Saucony’s what? Thanks!

Response:

I believe the Grid Omni is a stability shoe, and it sounds like you need just cushioning. The Grid Shadow may be better for you. Or, Brooks are cut and fit very similarly to Saucony, and I’ve been told good things about the Glycerin, a higher-end cushioning shoe.
