running shoes tests

Question
I have been trawling the internet for places that do different types of test to find the correct running shoes for my feet.

the 2 I have found so far are

1. some sort of plate that you land on when put in your path whilst running.

2. the other involves videoing your feet whilst running & analysing that.

what is your opinion on them?
what are they called so I can do a better internet sdearch on them?
what other methods arre there?
which is the best method?

Answer
Hi Tony
Unless you have been diagnosed with some kind of genetic problem,i would just find a shoe that feels good and fits properly and let the feet do there thing.If it is not broken,don't fix it.There is entirely to much manipulation of the shoes.I have been running and seen the shoe business evolve for 28 years and they are constantly shoving unnessary changes down your throat to sell and increase prices.I hope this helps Tony.If you have any other questions just get in touch.

The very best
