So, in the course of stalking/fondling my soon to be new running shoes, I have had gait analysis. Twice. Same running company (Runners Need), two different branches / store assistants. First one said I over-pronated with one of my feet. That's news to me. I run in a neutral shoe (bought after gait analysis in November 17), and have had no problems. Very next day had gait analysis at different branch. Assistant sees no over-pronation at all.
PFFFFFFT! Do these people even know what they are doing?
Had to order in my size of Cloudflyers; they should arrive tomorrow. Not the colour I dreamed of, but after running in another pair of On running shoes (the Cloudflow), I am smitten, in love, head over heels. Like running on air…

Ooh pictures please! I need to see the shoes you have been fondling!
I have had conflicting advice re gait analysis and have bought far too many running shoes as a result. Regardless of whatever science may or may not be involved, I feel that I run more happily in a neutral shoe. I don't get along so well with the more stable ones, though I have to admit that the very boring old Asics GT 1000-6 (?? may not be correct name), which is supposed to be a stability shoe, has proved to be excellent especially for longer distances on uneven terrain. It's uninspiring but I so often find myself reaching for it.
Am intrigued by On shoes - everyone seems to rave about them and they are definitely nicer looking than most.
Omg they’re so comfy but no good for me - major over pronation 😭
