i have run in 6-8 different brands of shoes from minimalist, zero-drop heels to maximalist super-cushioned stuff. none of them have caused injuries. you want to run pain free? follow these rules:

1. stop being fat
2. slow down fattie, you need a solid base before you do anything like a tempo or interval run
3. see rules 1 and 2

I sort of disagree. I will say that no one ever got hurt BECAUSE they ran in a neutral shoe. Now someone needing a neutral shoe and running in a heavy motion controlled shoe, could be a little different. But more and more studies are finding there's just not a lot of evidence to back up the "fact" that you need a stability or motion control or whatever shoe.

I'm not fat ... 5'5" and 120# ... don't assume things man.

I've got the base ... why assume I don't?

And I don't think I said I've been hurt from running in certain shoes ... ??? My Glycerines are just starting to feel funny in the arch but my arch doesn't HURT.

If you run fast you will not be pain free. Comes with the territory. I am an old broke down runner but I refuse to slow down. I would rather get in 2 fast runs a week than jog 7 minute miles 5 times a week.
