  asking..
  
  i have low arch feet.. so i was told i need motion control shoes.
  
  i currently have an asics gel evolution ll ..
  
  thinking of buying another pair of shoes.
  
  is it advisable if i buy a mizuno pair? if it is also motion control type?
  
  or should i stick with asics all the way? and this model only?
  
  thanks for your help.

  hmms?
  
  i think you all misunderstood my question abit.
  
  sorry my fault.
  
  i'm not asking which model of shoes are suitable for me
  
  i'm just asking,
  
  if its ok to wear different brands of shoes for runs on different days of the week?
  
  E.g.
  
  Monday- Wear a mizuno pair
  
  Weds- Asics
  
  etc. etc.
  
  Alternate betweeen different brands of running shoes.
  
  Is it ok?

  Should be fine as long as they can adequately support your current low arch without much hazard... Should you find the newer to be hurting your arch, stop and wear back your old Asics...

  Mizuno running shoes are not bad, i am using it and it has been quite gentle to my knees. Used to wear a Asic Gel and my knees were always so sore after my running.
  
  I am not sure if it works the same for you, better get someone to check for you before you buy your shoes. Normally those shops that sells only running shoes has professional specialists to help people in choosing the right running shoes.
  
  Sorry, i am not very good in this area.
  
  Good Luck.

  It is ok to run with alternate shoes on alternate days.
  
  I advise you to search the internet for more information on both the shoes that you are planning to buy.
  
  The support provide for each runner can be quite different.
  
  I believe some of the runners web site does a comparison of different shoe model.
  
  It will serve as a good reference for you before you go out and buy one.
