They can watch you run on a treadmill, look at your feet, etc... and make suggestions. I have a narrow heel and wide to box, so some shoes I simply can't wear. Nevertheless, your point is well made for many runners.

I have medium flat feet so I wear a medially posted shoe, but as far as those are concerned, I can easily use one of many different brands. I think most people could switch brands if they wanted. Some people are just afraid to go all Obama and change even though subsequent technology might even be better.
