Physio said I ideally need motion control shoes. which is ok if your on the road but can I buy trail shoes that have motion control?
I'm training in inov8's roclites at the moment.
can anyone recomend a trail shoe with motion control (or more stability)?
cheers

I may be wrong, but given the uneven nature of the off-road terrain, I don't think 'motion control' is an option. From what I understand, the best way to protect your feet off-road is to keep it as close to the ground as possible, thus reducing the danger of 'falling off' the shoe (think platform boots a la 70's!) Some have a bit more padding to soften impact, roclites (the 'four arrow jobs') being among them.
Good luck...
if support/stability is my main priority are inov8's the best choice? my gut says no for some reason??
Do you want them for fell running, or what some would call 'trail' running, ie woodlands, towpaths, proper paths etc? If the latter, plenty of fairly supportive trail shoes about. Get yerself to a proper running shop and talk to knowledgeable staff, I'm sure they'll gladly help you out.
yeah just the flats not fell.
cheers mate.
sefton, you're probably looking at the trail versions of road shoes as made by Asics, Saucony, Mizuno, Nike, etc. But I wouldn't know which models are motion control etcOriginally Posted by SEFTON
