Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It is easy to determine if you have normal pronation or if you underpronate/overpronate. Placing a wet foot on a dry paper bag is how I did it. Do your research and then select your shoe. My arch exists but collapses under my weight so while I may be called "flat footed", it would be technically more correct to say that I overpronate. Pearl Izumi makes excellent running shoes and they clearly catergorize their shoe line to different types of pronation. Previous to Pearl Izumi I successfully used nikeys but switched for the first time to Pearl Izumi. I usually run a couple of miles a day with my dog; I am not a serious runner but I want a shoe that will minimize my risk to possible injury. Also, I am kind of a product snob so I want the best. I am very happy with this brand. Most likely, I will stick with it forever.
Update: The left shoe squeaks when I run on most surfaces. I tried petroleum jelly, corn starch and a wd-40 type product in individual tests and cannot get rid of the squeak. I will contact the manufacturer. I docked the product one star due to squeak. It is now only 4 stars.
2nd Update: Pearl Izumi has great customer service. I returned the shoes direct to the company with an explanation. They promptly sent me back a new pair and the new pair does not squeak. I have upgraded to 5 stars.
