Running shoes for Overpronators?????

My Brooks Beasts are too heavy and stiff. I think they are contributing to the pain (feels like over strained) in the acheles /below the calf region. I think my feet have a hard time bending- for instance I can't do a plank because my toes won't bend back in the shoe so I can hold the position. Well, I'll do it, but only as long as it takes for my feet to just slide me out of the position.

I still overpronate, yet I want to run with a lighter shoe. So any shoe with some stability and also some lightness?

 I found a good ASIC shoe that helps with pronation and is pretty light. I'd have to check at home for specific model but I paid like $120 for them and I love them.

I waer the asic gels, but they don't have a ton of support and need to replace often. I really like the flexiblity of them
New balance are more supportive.

 If you go to www.footsmart.com you can actually look up shoes by the foot or issue you have like flat feet or over pronation.

I only wear New Balance--i actually go to a New Balance store (only sells this brand).  They have running shoes for overpronators, underpronators, fat feet, skinny feet, etc.

I wear Asics and have put in over the counter insoles from a pedorthist. As far as I'm concerned Aasics are AWESOME!

There is a shoe store in my Folks's town that has a pedorthist on staff. They really know thier stuff. I don't mind spending the extra money for the shoes or the insoles. Remember, always buy quality shoes and a quality matress because if you aren't on your feet, you are on your back!
