Buy from Zappos.comApril 2009. The Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS tops the list when it comes to running shoes for heavy runners and overpronators (those whose feet roll inward too much) who need a sturdy motion-control shoe. Reviewers believe Saucony has greatly improved this running shoe, making it more flexible and responsive than previous models. The support post provides superior inward support so feet don't roll inward too much, and testers are generally happy with the control. Like all motion-control shoes, the ProGrid Stabil CS is heavy due to the extra cushioning -- the men's version is nearly 14 ounces, while the women's version tops the scales at almost 12 ounces. The New Balance 1123 (*est. $150) and the New Balance 1101 (*est. $120) are other well-reviewed options for serious pronators, although they are just as heavy as the ProGrid Stabil CS and slightly more expensive.
The best reviews of the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS come from Runner's World. Ample runner feedback and rigorous lab testing make Runner's World the best source of information on this running shoe. Since this model is so new, we found few user reviews on sites like Buzzillions.com.

The Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS only receives a handful of reviews on Buzzillions.com (mostly the reviews come from the Zappos website), but reviewers praise the wide fit and generous cushioning. The shoe gave one reviewer numb toes, but that could be a result of improper sizing.
