i have been trying shoe after shoe to alleviate hip bursitis from running on banked surfaces, i went to roadrunner for a foot inspection and found that i'm a 'nuetral' runner. whatever, i'm really a 'i have to run so i can eat cookies' runner but i wanted to follow their advice. turns out that these shoes are perfect, no hip pain, no pain at all, a soft cushy ride for my slogging run. very light, they handle heel strikes very well and run very true to size. magic shoes!
