Well anka, if you can get Nike shoes, I'd suggest a pair of Pegasus. I've tried many other models, but I always seem to come back to that one. Never had a bad pair of those. Remember that it's just a suggestion though. I have no way of knowing if they will be the right shoe for you.
It can be hard to advise someone about suitable running shoes. Most people have usually arrived at their favourite model/brand after having run in several other types first; and so, many suggestions are made from a personal preference and may not be right for you.

Pedestrian thank you for your feedback..I will use every knowledge every experience and decide accordingly..I am an analytic person who will decide all parameters...Therefore feel free to suggest anything..It helps me lot to decide..There is no "absolute right" in that decision...Making another mistake is also an option as all human being..But in ayway in every mistake we learn something..

Ok let me summarize the situation.
I need a shoe recommendation..My foot is normal foot in wet test..I run on concrete.The shoe shall be proper to run on concrete..My foot is wide.If recommendation is of adidas,nike,asics and reebok.The opportunity of me to find it will be more..Please tell me lots of recommendation so that I can find in Turkey.Thank you...

Try and get an Adidas Supernova. Nice shoe that will last longer on concrete than the pegasus.

I fond and tried Adidas Response
Nike Air Pegasus
Adidas Supernova...

Have the impression is that pegasus and response are similar in cushoning and I prefer Response..
Supernova(I couldnt find exact my number ) but I have impression it is more stable but cushoning is not as beter as response or pegasus...

I will try to find asics shop and try on it...

My question is as far as I understand..What I shall look is compromise of cushoning and stability..
If I make decision as cushoning oriented fully (because of concrete surface) and neglect stability...specifically if I buy a highly cushoned shoe(not stable one) what is te complication that it may cause..
More specifically my decision is Adidas Response because of cushoning at the moment..Is it ok?

Hi Anka

The important thing is that you get a shoe that you feel comfortable with.

I think that you might need a stability shoe to stop your feet rolling, but cannot be sure unless someone with training looks at your feet. Even if you get a very well-cushioned shoe, you will still get calf pain if your feet roll around in it

Does anyone know if stability shoes have any bad effects on someone who doesn't pronate? If not, Anka could just get a stability shoe with good cushioning, and get a good result whether his feet roll or not.

The way I see it is that if you suddenly start wearing shoes which are designed to make your feet work in a way in which they never have done before; then you're asking for problems.
I have, in the past, mistakenly bought a pair stability-based running shoes, (I generally have neutral). They felt fine when I tried them on in the shop, but in less than a mile of my first run in them I knew that there was something wrong. I could feel that my feet, ankles and lower legs were being "asked" to move in ways that they just didn't want to go. Very uncomfortable. I never ran in them again.

Thank you Katten,Thank you Padestrian
I did a thing,I think it was brillant idea I checked my old shoes..and I see that the wearing is almost uniform..Right and left Outer sides is slightly more than inner side..Does it mean that my leg doesnt roll so that I can buy cushioned shoe,what do you think?

Second yesterday I visited shops in ankara..I couldt find asics..I returned to my adidas alternative..But bad news on the shoe it is written adidas response trail edition 14....I returned home with dissappointmens..Anyway I have the illusion that that shoe was better than nike air pegassus..Do you think road running shoe and trail running shoe are the same or there is difference on concrete running..

Anyway thnk you all..My leg pain is still going on..There has been one week and I couldnt fix my leg pain and shoe...Anyway no pain no gain

Sounds like the wear pattern on your old shoes is indicating a neutral, or "normal" foot strike; so I don't think that you need to be looking at motion control shoes. Checking your old shoes was a good idea, by the way. I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned before. It reminds me that before there were all the technical gait tests available (in the UK), the staff in specialist running shops would recommend that you had an old pair of running shoes with you when you went to buy new ones, so that they could advise as to the type of shoe that you should be looking for. And before that, there simply wasn't anything called a "motion-control shoe". People just went out and bought running shoes that they found fit them well and were comfortable.


Trail/road shoes? From what I can gather, trail shoes usually have a sole with a more substantial grip, and often have a stronger/more water-resistant fabric for the upper section. Some trail shoes I've seen are suitable for both on or off road running; but some are designed purely for the off road stuff, and I imagine that these shoes aren't as well cushioned.
