Hello all, i am getting back into running as i need t lose some weight.
Iam about 85kg and from the look of my old Kayanos i supernate.
Quite a lot of wear on the outside heel and outside to middle of the forefoot.
My feet are pretty flat and broad with small archs.
Its seems more people pronate than supernate, is there a shoe for me??
Cheers
Graeme

I'm fortunate that I have a very neutral gait and don't need a lot of support so I can run in anything that's not too stiff. My favorite shoes though (which are for a neutral foot and may suit you) are Asics Nimbus and Brooks Cascadia. I tend to get wear on the outside of the heel (which is normal) but then the wear continues slightly moreso on the outside of the sole to the toes rather than coming through the middle to the big toe. I'm a mid foot striker. Single training runs on bitumen up to 60km in the Nimbus haven't been a problem from a soreness / injury perspective. I also have a second toe longer than my big toe. Hope that helps.

For proper analysis see a podiatrist. If you are in a health fund the gap works out to about $20 and it is a fair investment.
My foot strike is similar to what you describe - wear on outside of heel and wear at front of the shoe is on the outside. My problem was I had a maltracking kneecap and a contributing factor was a new pair of Kayanos (wrong shoes - for pronators).
For layman advice, just saw a Podiatrist on Tuesday re above issues. I was diagnosed with mild supination. Shoes he advised were Asics Nimbus (wear them already), Brooks Glycerin or Nike Vermero. From what limited knowledge I have on shoes, these are all neutral shoes with a fair amount of cushioning.
Hope this helps.
