I wouldn't
Most of the recent research says that the more "support" your shoes give, the more likely you are to end up with serious joint problems. Your foot is a superbly designed running machine, messing with it makes things worse not better.

Ha, that sounds like my dad
Humph, load of garbage, I ran 5 times a week for 50 years and I pronate, it's perfectly normal, grumble grumble

Me: hmm and how are the new titanium knees?

The key point is, I think, if you run correctly you don't need fancy shoes. But you have to learn to run correctly - before the advent of running shoes people did fine because they had no choice but to run the right way.

I read this recently
www.amazon.co.uk/Born-Run-Hidden-Ultra-Runners-Greatest/dp/1861978774

And there's a lot of stuff in there about natural running.

That's horse shit.
People had flat feet, over pronated, under pronated and all they could do is suck it up and suffer serious leg pains and not be as good a runner as they could be if they lived now and had better shoes.

Barefoot runners can't run super long distances without fucking themselves up.
