What shoes do you run in and gait test?

What shoes do you use if you run on road and did you have a gait test done?

I did have a gait test done, and I was recommended Nike Structure Triax XI. As well as correcting my over-pronation, they are pretty wide-fitting, which is good as I have very very wide feet.

I like Brooks beast but am currently using Asics by way of a change.

I had a gait test done recently and tried on several different brands and in the end plumped for New Balance, only because they are similar to Nike which I had been used to running in.

I had a gait test, I overpronate and was recommend various shoes, eventually I went for the Asics Gel Kayano 12's... since then I've also bought Gel Kayano 13's. A more recent assessment has shown that the Kayano's are possibly a little too supportive for me, and when I next go to buy some more shoes, I'll get myself analysed again to be double sure

Thanks.

I did the wet feet test and my feet nad a big grap on the inside of each foot, if u see what I mean? so I took that as I over pronate like they suggested in the shop so thats why I bought the Asics shoe.

What if you only had one leg? Not really a gait then more of a gate post!

I had the gait analysis done - never knew there was such a thing until I came across this site. I heavily over-pronate too, as I discovered on the test. I was crippled with shin splints and did it as a last resort. The shop recommended Brooks Addiction 7. Three weeks later - fully recovered. I actually carried on training as my injuries healed. As it happens, I went back to that very shop last month and bought another pair in appreciation for the help they'd given me. Very much recommended.
