Know Your Foot Type

(top view of my lovely ride.. my precious..)
(bottom view..)
(her ride.. lovely response cushion 18)

my current ride is "adistar ride" which i purchased in 2008.. yup, two (2) years ago.. the shoe still feels great at the moment.. somehow, i have a feeling that my current ride won't last till PBIM 2010 in Nov'10.. therefore, i need to replace them in the near future..

i got to know that an adidas store located at gardens midvalley provides foot scan to its customers.. i do recommend to those who really want a good pair of shoe to know your foot type first.. do read on as i would like to share what i know about foot types.. (pronation means the rolling movement of the foot)

Normal/ Neutral Pronation:
An individual that tends to wear down their running shoes evenly..

Overpronation:
An individual that tends to wear down their running shoes on the inner side..

Underpronation:
An individual that tends to wear down their running shoes on the outer side..
