Hey guys, great discussion thread you have here smile.gif I need a bit of help here from you all.

A little about myself first, I started running and participating in runs roughly mid of 2008. I'm not particularly athletic, and needless to say I had terrible stamina back then. Even now I'm barely making it through 10km runs in 80 minutes, but I'm still trying hehe. I plan to improve progressively, and targetting to be able to run 42km runs by 2010.

The thing is I've been running in a pair of Adidas Adizero LTs that I got off a warehouse sale, but I feel that they arent the shoes for me. This is primarily because I have real skinny legs and I'm bow-legged (please refer to pictures below).

I have a 40% Brooks discount voucher with me, but there's also a sale going on now at the New Balance outlets here. After examining the pictures I've included, could anyone make out what sort of runner I am, and what brand / shoes should fit me best? Of course I'd be asking for help from the fellas at the shop as well (the ones who know their stuff at least), but I'd like to know what you think as well. Your help is greatly appreciated smile.gif

One more thing is, from your experience and knowledge about people with legs like mine, how far would I be able to take running? Would there be any long term damage to my knees or etc?

Apologies for the masses of questions and potentially disturbing pictures. Thanks and cheers!

dmm9394: why not go check out the shoe advisor in www.brooksrunning.com.....they look at runner size, arch, movement, etc.......

I am getting a gts9 later......

Yeah i took a look at the shoe advisor, and the GTS 9 was one of the results that appeared smile.gif What do you guys know about this shoe, and why's it so popular?

There is a shop called schein orthopaedic in front of Johnson Fitness....near Watson.

They have a treadmill to check your running feet pressure.
