this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Does anyone have recommendations for a good sneaker (for walking, with lots of hills and stair climbing) for high arches and underpronation?

Megan, I have high arches and underpronate badly -- I love New Balance shoes. In fact, I think if you go to the New Balance Web site and search on "supination," it should turn up a lot of shoe recommendations.

t edit I can't remember which New Balance shoe I wear, but it helps me tremendously. The wear pattern on it is almost normal, which NEVER happens when I wear any other shoe.

good sneaker

I love my Sauconys - [link] Totally comfortable (even after being on my feet for days at a con) and super cute, too.

For all of those Doctor Who, specifically David Tennant fans, the first publicity photo of him as Hamlet. I want tickets for this, too, damnit!!

He looks oddly like Bradley Cooper to me there.

Megan, have you checked out the Shoe Dog?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Vortex, Google says it's *67.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm always walking on the outsides of my feet, so I guess I'm another underpronator. I'll have to get those New Balance shoes, I think.

Today I am all about petty irritation. Pick up your feet when you walk! Don't use the bathroom stall next to mine when the other eight are standing empty! Take a step back from the elevator buttons so I don't to have to invade your personal space just so I can get to my goddamn floor! I don't care if the space is huge in this revolving door, if I don't know you, then you don't get to smoove in behind me, jackass!

In conclusion: don't stand so close to me.

Megan, have you checked out the Shoe Dog?

Oh cool! It pulled up the Mizunos that I have, I'm pretty sure, as being one of the ones that would be my ideal.

I actually don't think that supination is all that uncommon. I have high arches and I supinate. I ended up getting orthotics for running shoes which corrected the problem.
