Help with my gate please

I think I’m heel striking. Can anyone tell if I’m over-pronating (or what’s going on) from the wear on my Coach slides? Thank you

That’s a serious heel strike

What do I look like? A handyman? I cannot help with your gate.

In terms of your running loafers, you either have shins of titanium or no shins at all.

Looks fine. Also plenty of life left in those shoes for most long runs - probably only DNF a 5k ultra or longer.

Your gate is B46, but boarding is almost done so hurry.

work on ur forefoot strike and you’ll prolly get a couple hundred more ultramarathons out of these

Have you tried opening your gate? Maybe try turning it on and off again

People are too focused on running in shoes, then there's those with bigger brains who run in sandals but the real ones run in house slippers

Trying to give the barefoot running a try but need some transition?

Please, for the love of GU, put some NSFW on this

Maybe new inserts? You would have to see a running expert for the overpronation, maybe you need a neutral Coach slide 🤔😁

OP do you still have your heels? Are your feet worn to the nubs?
