Shoes that are fast but also stable but also wide
Hey guys, I'm in desperate need of some recommendations for my next running shoe. Right now I'm using Novablast 5's but unfortunately I overpronate a lot in them, to the point where my ankles hurt for a while after my runs. I think it's partly because of my natural running form which might not even be a problem in other shoes, but also because the Asics don't seem to fit my rather wide feet, as in there's not enough shoe underneath my feet to stop the ankle from slipping/collapsing inwards. So I'm not really sure if I just need actual 2E shoes (that are available in Europe) or stability in general, but I think the squishiness of the Novablasts doesn't help.
I run around 30km per week at a pace of 4:30min/km, sometimes slower sometimes faster. I think I'm somewhere between forefoot and mid foot striker and I rarely do slower recovery runs, I'm aware that this is probably not ideal though haha
So far I've been considering the Glycerin 22 GTS (2E), the NB Rebel v4 (2E) and the Saucony Tempus 2 or maybe even Speed 4, although Sauconys don't seem to be available in 2E where I live (Germany).
I'd love to hear some suggestions, maybe there's been someone in a similar situation.
Thank you :)
