Shoes for 90 Kilograms

Anyone of you have experience for this type of shows. I'm a neutral runner, not overpronator not
supinator.

Thanks

Do you run ball/heel or are you a heel striker, that is land on the back of the heel of the shoe?

Are you a runner who feels the impact and can be heard running.

If you run on concrete or asphalt without shoes on, you'll see that you adjust as it hurts too much
to land on the back of the heel first.

depends on you running style. I am 83-85 kg, and use light trainers, as those help my running style
(i.e. Asic Gel DS Lyte (predecessor to the the Gel Verdict which is not available in Scandinavia)).
Now I am trying to switch to NB 832, the the feel like the outside of the shoe is too high and
arched up where no arch i needed. These shoes are probably too light for you, except for racing.

You should look for something like the Asics Gel Cumulus, but there are many others. Visit a store
with a good selection.

At the race today (half marathon), I noticed a few who made lots of noise when slapping their
forefoot down after striking the heel first.

At that stage in the race I was so tired that my feet made as little noise as a ninja in the night
🙂 Forefoot running rocks. Too bad most running shoes has the high heels promoting the heel strike.

If we were meant to use high heels, we would have been born as women 🙂

Roadrunner sports have a list of shoes that are appropriate for heavier runners. Generally, you
should probably look for either cushioning or stability shoes with carbon rubber outsoles (not
blown rubber).

I've marked the 'stability' shoes with 's', 'cushioning' with 'c'. The New Balance 879 and 880 are
different iterations of the same shoe likewise
1220/1221. You can often get a much better price on older models.

I'd recommend trying on as many of these as you can and pick whichever you like.

Saucony: Grid Hurricane (s), Grid Trigon Durable (c), Grid Triumph (c) Asics: Gel Kayano (s), Gel
Nimbus (c) Mizuno: Wave Creation (c) New Balance: 879/880 (c, wide toe box), 1220/1221 (s,
standard fit)

I tried on the 831 and it has the narrowest toebox of any shoe I've tried. It wears small, so I went
up a half-size, but got heel-slippage and the toebox still wasn't that roomy.

I'm about 90 kg, and I think I've got a neutral stride. I've had good luck with Brooks Trance NXG.
It's a stability shoe with decent cushioning especially in the forefoot. That model has recently
been replaced with Trance NXS. Here in the US, you can still get the NXG for a reasonable price at
Road Runner Sports. There are two different colors, and one is a lot cheaper than the other, for
some reason.
