It seems runners love our Posture Control Insoles (PCIs). You can find us several places in the Runners World forums.
|
Three searches on the Runner's World Forum produced a lot of information that may be beneficial to you. Among all the positive entries
about the Posture Control Insoles®, you will find lots of good input on
shoes. You will learn that Posture Control Insoles® are a replacement
for anti-pronation shoes. We do not recommend using Posture Control
Insoles® with motion control shoes. |
