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'VE NEVER HAD AN OFFICAL GAIT TEST BUT HAVE FLAT FEET ...WET FEET ON FLOOR TEST.

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

Ooop...caps lock on again!!!

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.
