Not that I would, but now I'm almost out of excuses not to run. I finally got the right shoe.

The fact that I'm in the right shoe is in large part because I went to the right store-Big Peach Running Co. (Separate review coming soon.) These shoes are built for people who over-pronate (foot rolls to the instep side), but not a lot. There is extra support built in to the inside of the heel so that it helps keep your foot upright when walking or running on flat surfaces. If you're off-road, structured support doesn't affect your gait as much as the terrain does, but on the street or track it makes a world of difference.

You don't need to be a runner, these are good for just walking around.  Nike makes a great shoe. Someone had caused me to question Nike's some years ago, but these shoes are holding up well under my 238 pounds (265 until quite recently.)

In a nutshell- if you need structured support, I highly recommend these shoes.
