My foot slightly pronates and I bought these Nike Zoom Elite 4 Running Shoes. Should I return them?

I bought these shoes:
http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/shoefinder_detail/1,,s6-240-325-329-0-0-0-0-1348,00.html
on an impulse buy because they were 50% off at Nordstrom Rack.

After performing the test to figure out what foot type I have I would say I am about 80% flat and 20% normal (according to the results here: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-326-7152-0,00.html). Which means that I slightly pronate.

Should I return them or should they be ok?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If they don't fit properly and you are going to use them for running. I would recommend taking them back. You could really injure yourself running in a shoe that isn't comftorable or doesn't fit properly. Like your knees and back. Take them back and get a pair that fits. Have a good day and good luck.

From this site (http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-326-7152-0,00.html ) it says I
"need either stability shoes, which employ devices such as dual-density midsoles and supportive "posts" to reduce pronation and are best for mild to moderate overpronators"

Do those nikes have those features?

If the allow returns i would take them back. you want a shoe that is comfortable and fits right, you didnt spend all that money for a pair of shoes that will rarely be worn.

hope this helps.
ps. sometimes they wont take return on clearance items just find out =]

It depends on what you feel, if it dosen't fit, don't wear it, and return it. I don't think you want messed up feet.
