The Best Support/Stability Running Shoes for Overpronation 2024
If you’re a runner, you’ll already know the importance of selecting the right shoe for your running gait, whether you’re a neutral runner, an overpronator or you under-pronator.
Over 70% of runners over-pronate to some degree, with the foot rolling inwards excessively through the foot-strike, placing strain on the lower leg, knees, hips and lower back. That means most of us will find ourselves looking for a good support shoe to help slow down that excessive inwards movement. A great support shoe helps guide the foot into a more biomechanically efficient position, helping to reduce the risk of injury and optimising the foot-strike for better performance.
Here are our top-of-the-range recommendations for overpronators:
