If you have a common size, width, and gait (and you don't pronate/supenate too much) you can have success everywhere. The thing about RR sports is that they can nail your needs exactly since they quantify it electronically. That is invaluable if you have different needs in a shoe. They are a bit more expensive than most, and their custom insoles are very expensive (something like $90?) but if you've got the bucks saved or you are a high miler I think it's 100% worth it.

Thanks, I don't want to jack the thread, but my problem is that my feet seem to swell very quickly. A few runners I have talked to all seem to agree that my shoes are inhibiting my running. Also, I was pigeon toed as a kid, and it isn't fully cured, so hopefully that will be something to consider. Thats why I'll be heading over to Road Runners to get checked out.
