This week’s podcast where Matt and Andrea discuss why they disagree on some of this year’s biggest releases is out now on YouTube: youtu.be/LxmoCNzubtQ?si=fxY3…
10/ That said, those people who have trouble controlling the pronation motion, which is important for natural shock absorption, still benefit from a stability shoe. How much will vary depending on the person, but this footwear type is still important to support these runners.
5/ Much of the decrease may have come from a push from the minimalist movement, the market for lighter stability shoes decreasing or other market trends.
3/ I noticed that shoes with sidewalls, wider midfoot widths, sole flaring and other geometries could make shoes more tolerable for me from a stability standpoint.
Over the last 5 years, there has been a significant decrease in the number of stability shoes. The majority of lightweight stability shoes have almost completely disappeared (including the ASICS DS Trainer and DS Racer series) and several higher-level stability shoes are gone.🧵
How is it that one person can love a shoe and someone else loathe it? Matt & Andrea dive into how and why we feel things about our running shoes in our latest pod.
