I went into Sweatshop the other day and had my gait analysed on a treadmill. I apprantly land on the outside of my feet and then roll inwards, but my left foot rolls a bit to much.
I currently have a pair of Mizuno Wave Nexus 4's and I tried on the 5's and they felt fine but I'm assuming that's mainly down to being used to the make and model.
I also tried on a pair of New Balance shoes, but the toe box was to narrow as I have quite wide feet.
I then explained that the sides of my big toes get tender and so the assistant got me to try a pair of Asic GT 2170's with the aim of adding more support and cushioning. They felt really comfortable and he said the biometrically, they were the best shoes out of the one's I tried on. However I decided not to buy them because, and this may sound really strange, they were very white and because I run down country lanes I could see them becoming very dirty very quickly and horses also use the lanes as well!!!
Since then I've been in another shop and tried on a pair of Brooks but again they were quite narrow but I also tried some Asic Gel 3030 and they also felt comfortable but I couldn't try them on a treadmill. They were also quite a bit more expensive.
So here's my question. It seems like I need medium support/cushioned shoes, so do people have any other recommendations or should I go with either the GT 2170's or Gel 3030? If so do people have experience of either shoe?
Also, when it comes to the two Asic's pairs, is there any other difference than the colour in the following?

Compared to red that a lot of sites seem to have but in limited stock. Also the one's I tried on wer Green with grey mesh.
