Can I ask what made you swap over to neutral? I've been running in a pair of less stable shoes and I'm not sure whether they're right or not...

Will need more time with them to see.

I've looked in to these as I've been converted to running in neutral flats and have mild/moderate overpronation. I wouldn't worry too much as nowadays "stability" shoes are less corrective. Find a model that you feel comfortable in and work on your form/biomechanics.

Personally I've found that running in a stability shoe with a supportive insole leads to less input. I've gone from the Adidas Ultraboost ST with a custom insole to the adidas adizero adios 3. I do all my runs in the adios apart from short recovery runs. I'm considering adding the fasttwitch to do speedwork/threshhold stuff as I'm curious about how I'll find less drop.

If you need more convincing:

some other "stability" flats:
- New Balance 1500
- Saucony Fastwitch
- Asics DS Racer
- Brooks Asteria

That's really interesting. I looked at the NB Vongos and were put off but lack of heel drop but maybe that could be a good but too.

When you say lack of input what do you mean?

I've just started running in the react infinity (from zoom structures) and have had some knee pain which is frustrating.
