Only shoe that didn’t get me injured

Anonymous runner · Aug 9, 2023

5/5

Overall

I’ve always needed a motion control shoe to avoid leg injuries when running higher mileage. I wore the Brooks Vantage and Vantage Supreme years ago. Have worn Addictions from the beginning. Every time I’ve briefly tried anything else, I’ve had problems, knee, tightness in calves, always something. The problem with Addictions is that they have become a niche shoe, not as easy to find online as many others.

Recovering from Injury - Pronator

Anonymous runner · Jun 16, 2018

3/5

Overall

This much support is not good for any run over 4 miles. I think it could be a good recovery run shoe and maybe long run shoe if you have resilient feet. Would not buy again.
