Re: If pronation is no longer "bad", how does one evaluate runnings shoes? [bigmatt]
let me go one step further (ba dum tsss), and present to you mark covert:




this is the overpronator who got the most out of his uncorrected overpronating feet. 45 years never missing a daily run. but if you forward to 3:30 into this video, you can see the feet he ended up with. and if you look at him while he's running, you can see what this did to him. he stopped his streak because it crippled him. at the end it was 1 mile a day. and then he couldn't even do that. not hips, or knees, but these feet.


i was on this run with him, his last run. i am now past the age he got to when he took his last run. he's riding a bike now. but this is the toll uncorrected overpronation took on his feet, and this guy was a 2:teen marathoner, a 28:xx or 29:xx 10k runner, and this was back in the early 1970s. he didn't get bad feet because he didn't know how to run. in my opinion he got bad feet because he didn't correct for overpronation.
