Brooks Addiction 8, Color: Silver/Tarnish/Blk/Insignia, Size: 9.0 Mens Review

There is a reason why Brooks is a favorite among avid runners. They make quality shoes with biomechanics in mind. Other brands, like Nike, just crank out 50 types of shoes a year.
The Addiction is meant for people with flat foot, overpronators, or both. I am both. The firm inner sole prevents pronation to the extreme and is very solid. The heel cup (where you slide your foot into the shoe) is very stiff. This is a good thing. No matter how awesome the sole of the shoe is, it won't do a darned thing if your heel is sliding all around. To properly wear this shoe, make sure it's snug so the heel cup can hold your heel solidly. By holding your calcaneus firmly and preventing it from sliding out, your talus stays in neutral, preventing pronation further.
Obviously you'll still get pronation because you need it to walk or run. However, this shoe is by far the best at limiting it to a normal amount. Brooks never disappoints.

***Note: for the other reviewer who said the arch support isn't much. This is true b/c it's meant for over pronator, who are mostly flat footed. So the arch support is minimal. However, if you have a mid to high arch and you overpronate, you can easily insert an insole with arch cushioning or stiff support, depending on what you need. I like the Spenco Rx full length arch cushions. It's soft enough for comfort with the stiffness to hold an arch up. But it's important to remember that these shoes are meant for flat feet. The Adrenaline GTS series by Brooks is meant for mid to high arches. Although not many shoes will have a substantial arch in the sole because most people don't have high arches. And shoe manufacturers make their shoes to fit 95% of their demographic.
