I don't believe there's any such thing. Take your old shoes to a REAL RUNNING
STORE, forget foot locker, and get the right shoes.

No problem, let me get that for you...

I am a very bowlegged, 230lb. clydesdale male runner (~12-15mi a week).
Finally got the local running store to check out my stride and pronation.
I'd been running in NB 99x and Asics Nimbus for years just because I figured
that even though I was flatfooted from my weight that my bowleggedness
actually caused me to underpronate and I needed cushion cushion cushion.
Well it turns out I am indeed a moderate-large overpronator, and so after
about 6 pairs of shoes trying on the best for me was a motion-control .. in
a Saucony Grid Omni 3 (4's weren't out yet). They have made a world of
difference in my running, although I was already injury free.

But anyway, leave the Foot Locker behind and find a real, local (if
possible) running shoe store where you can be biomechanically evaluated.

Try on as many shoes as you can. When you find a shoe that works for
you, than you can go on line and order a bunch of identical pairs.

If I follow the "advise" on what should work, it doesn't.

Also, getting orthodics are a great advantage. You can have them made
by a podiatrist, usually hard, or by a good chiropractor, which are
usually soft and flexible. If you're near NYC I can recommend someone
that made my favorites.

Still, then you need to try shoes that work well with your orthodics.

For me, Sacouny Jazz Wides work great. They keep changing their style
and I wish in 99 I had bought a dozen pairs.
