I need max cushioning as I underpronate and have a very high arch. I wear Sof Soles arch support in my Reeboks, but I think I'll go to the New Balance 895 soon. I might see if Brooks can custom "paint" me one of their running shoes in black.
I disagree - if you are saying what I think - about using orthodics. They may work for some but they are all hard to some degree. I'm all for whatever works for you and keeping the feet feeling good.
