It's a good question, and I think it was a slight accident at the time! When I first started running, gait analysis suggested I was (mild/moderate) overpronating, so ran in various support shoes, and got on to Nike Zoom Elite as a lightweight trainer/racer. This became my everyday training shoe and at some point it just turned into a neutral shoe from a mild support shoe, but I carried on with it anyway and got on OK. More recent gait analysis suggests my running style might have got a little more efficient, so I've been happy using neutral shoes for everything for a while now.
Not that I've been completely injury-free but the injuries have been all over the place and certainly not anything I can confidently blame on whatever shoes I'm wearing. (Compared to having tight calves, getting old, etc...)
