The Brooks Beast and Ariel remain two of the stalwarts in the motion control category. The Addiction also offers a boat load of support. The shoe has been evolved but it is now a fairly tough category as there are shoes (including the Beast) that have the support with less of a solid feel. That said if you are a runner who wants to have the feeling of strong support in your shoes the Addiction ticks the boxes and is suitable for heavier runners. (New colour for AW08)
