Motion Control Shoes

According to Runner's World, you should wear motion-control shoes if you are a runner who overpronates moderately to severely. Motion-control shoes will give you maximum rearfoot control and extra support on the medial (arch) side of the foot. Motion-control shoes are also best suited for big or heavy runners who need plenty of support and durability. These runners often have low arches (flat feet).
  • Asics (M / F): Evolution, Foundation, Fortitude
  • Brooks (M / F): Beast (M), Ariel (F), Addiction
  • Mizuno (M / F): Alchemy
  • Saucony (M / F): ProGrid Stabil
*** some of the sneakers listed in yesterday's "stability" category may work depending upon the severity of pronation (I had trouble figuring out where to draw the divide)
