My problem is for running I need shoes that will correct my overpronation - if that's how you spell it - and, while it's not an unusual thing at all, no shoes tell you if they're designed for that or not. So I have to go to specific running stores to have someone I trust more than me make the call.

You mean the quad, Zenkitty? I know nothing about it, except my dad ripped his free of the kneecap a few years ago and...yeah, you don't need to hear about that.

Zenkitty, the back is the hamstring and the front is the quadricep.

Brenda, you need motion-control shoes. I've got a pair of New Balances that are designed for that. 825s, I think -- they're very good.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Brenda, this site lets you search their shoes by arch size and running mechanics (including pronation/supination).

is the opposite, 'suela, stability? Or is motion control and stability the same thing?

Oh, thanks. And I need new shoes, now. I've been putting it off.

Hmm. I'm not sure, Kat -- I've just looked at Motion Control, which is designed for pronators and folks who suffer from plantar fasciitis, like me. I think Stability may be side-to-side control, rather than diagonal.

Huh! Shoes are so complex. I should so start running again. Maybe tomorrow. Or Tuesday.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yep, that's it. I pulled my quadricep. Perhaps my beginning workout was a little too enthusiastic.
Jessica, thanks for that site, even though it wasn't for me!
