If you go down to the rider, you are definitely losing cushion compared to what your shoes are giving you now. Nimbus is the Asics version of your 1062 and a sells better but every runner is different! I would suggest that you go for the new version of your shoes which is the 1063. Definitely a better version than the old one and should give you more feel. Let me know if you have more questions. Gotta Run, TRSG Hello Jeff,

Those are 2 different shoes! The 2130 will give you both support and cushion and falls into the Stability Category while the Nimbus is just a better version of the Cumulus and falls into the Neutral Category! Neutral only offers cushioning and does not guide or help you with your gait. Preferrably runners with high arches or lighter in weight. Hope this answered your question! Let me know if you have more. Thank you! Gotta Run, TRSG Hello Ratchet,

Well I guess better late than never! Right? Where are you located right now? Sounds like you are my perfect customer! We get a lot of your kind(Runners and walkers that has a lot of foot issues) in our store! We get plenty of refferals from different Hospitals, Podiatry Clinics and even Chiropractors. The most important issue here is the base of the shoe that you get! The reason why podiatrist sends patients to us is that the orthotic still needs a good based shoe for it to really perform to its fullest! If your running shoes are to curve(Last) the shoes are gonna be too flexible for you and it will make you pronate more. Adidas does not make a Motion Control shoe which is the category that is more suited for your biomechanics. I will look inot the Brooks Addiction and maybe the Saucony Stabil and put your orthotics in it for the meantime til your problem goes away. Try to see if you can get the Sorbothane Rigid Arch insert since that one has a special heel design that will help your spurs. It transfers the weight to the sorrounding sides of your heel instead of just in the middle and will definitely shorten the healing time. Let me know if you have more questions.

I've just started running in 08 and i have grown to love it, unfortunately my left foot hurts just from walking. Out of all the injuries and abnormalities that i have, it's my left heel that's killing me. I've been treated for plantar fasciitis (steroid injections and physical therapy) and have recently been diagnosed with 2 heel spurs. I'm currently with my Addidas someting# Formotion runners, and i replace the insoles with over-the-counter arch supports- at the moment New Balance are in them- and i've also put in LP heel impact rubber cushions. And i'm re-learning how to run by altering my whole form and cadence. After all of that- it still hurts... Help please??? Thanks yous, Carmel Hey there :)
