Brooks Arial -- I'm an Over-Pronator

Dr. Dave's recommendation for a shoe (see post below)

So here's more details on my running style :) when I went looking for the shoe on line - seems they have size and width - but I have to check about toe placement in the top of the shoe to determine size! So much to do with so little time.

"Running shoe built for the excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced stability." (one web site)

"The Ariel rescues runners with low or flat arches from excessive pronation with control-freak features." (another web site -- starting to get nervous)

"Rule the road Marathon Girl with shoes designed for super-hero strength." <--much better quote than the prior two

pronation: The inward rotation of the foot as it strikes the ground, causing shoes to wear on the inner line of the outsole (not that this makes it any clearer!
