Running

Yes they are neutral, they are a lot firmer but the cushioning they have is good quality, the thinking is that I don't need to be mechanically corrected, but having more feedback will allow me feel where things are going wrong.

I'm not good at picking up on positive feedback so if I'm honest I didn't enjoy the gait analysis, I came away feeling very negative...

Its possible to take this all too seriously though. Its like bikefit. Yeah its nice to have everything dialled. But there are plenty folk riding uber sportives with their saddle too high. That having sponteneously combusted yet.

Just sounds like a slight bad habit.

At least you've been recommended fun shoes. I could see me being recommended the running equivalent of a bike with stabilisers. Screw that.
