Now though I'm having 2nd thoughts because of crap I've read on the internet. They are not true stabilty shoes. In fact Runners World says they are for bio-mechanically efficient runners which I am not. So now I'm wondering, over time are these shoes going to cause me problems. I did notice that on my left, I'm really running on the inside of my foot. It didn't bother me on my 8 miler, but down the road, is this going to cause PF? Will the shin splints come back? As a performance shoe as the DS Trainer is supposedly, will they hold up for 400 to 500 miles? Am I going to be buying shoes again at 200 miles? I'm just wondering do I disregard conventional wisdom that says I should be in a true stability shoe and just keep running in my new Asics? I guess if I could afford buying new shoes every month or so to keep trying different ones out this wouldn't be an issue in my brain. Or if could exorcise myself of my critical side so that I could throw out the "what if"s and the "is this going to happen"s I'd be a much happier, care free runner.

I'm glad to hear someone else has experienced a similar situation. Maybe you are right when you said you thought your feet were fighting too hard against a stiffer shoe. Maybe that's what's been happening with me.

Also: you know for sure you have poor biomechanics? Maybe your efficiency has improved.
