Claireruns Apr 2012 4:47pm, 13 Apr 2012 79 posts	Quote Pin Claireruns i'm running in asics gt-2140 at the moment. They need replacing i've had them quite a while. I've only just started running again after an injury and i feel like they don't provide enough support especially for the way i run as my ankle tend to roll out rather than in.

Supinators (my husband is a massive supinator) should wear neutral/cushioned shoes, to allow for the movement in your ankles as they twist outward and give decent shock absorbtion that's lost with the fall of your foot. My OH gets on well with Nike and Brooks shoes best. Good luck!
