Whoever it is may be the same person as the guy in the bottom right of this pic:
I only know of three guys on the team with dreads that long: JRM, Maggitt, and Pearson. The first two are accounted for in the pic, but Mysterious Dreadlocks Dude (MDD henceforth) appears to be much shorter than Pearson's listed height.
I agree with RockyTop85, running stores can be a big help. They addressed the overpronate problem I had with running. Specific to your question, they recommended a Brooks shoe for stability. I'm cheap so I freaked out at the price, but after buying, I don't regret. It's been the best pair I've owned and now I spend the money for Brooks. I wear my Brooks for more than running. I have a bad knee too and like the support they give. My son runs cross country and he chose the new version of Nike Pegasus (Brooks was his 2nd choice), also recommended by same running store based on his running style. I haven't tried them but he loves them. Hope this helps.
Asics and Brooks are the two best, imo. Those are easily our best sellers for serious runners but they are a popular shoe overall as well. You can find pronation support in any brand really but for my money, the best is the Asics Dynamic Duomax support system that comes in their stability models.
Another training/exercise question though:
What running shoe have any of you guys had good success with? I just ordered a pair of Brooks shoes. Never used them before. Hoping it helps. I have been having pain in my left knee. I think it's tendonitis. Been resting it this week. And hoping these new shoes will help.
I have an extremely pronated foot and have been using the Brooks Beast for the past 5ish years (Buying new shoes on a ~yearly basis due to wear from running often). Brooks makes an excellent shoe that offers great support while still being lightweight and breathable.
Speaking of which, anyone know how Peterman is doing up at Pitt?
ScoutTennessee was the most recent school to pull the trigger.
The offer means a lot, said the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Dunlap. Im going to visit there soon. Im looking forward to seeing the campus. Im excited to see both the academic and football sides of the program.
