Then, we put the top shoes to the test by walking over 100 miles in them. After that, we researched dozens of shoes from the most popular and trusted brands.
To find the best walking shoes for overpronation, we interviewed five podiatrists to get their expert opinion on what to look for in a motion control shoe. When shopping for a motion control shoe, look for a sneaker that has an inflexible heel and a thick midsole with good arch support. These shoes, also called stability shoes, “limit the range of motion of the foot, thereby blocking excess pronation,” Logan says. There are a number of things you can do to address overpronation, but wearing motion-controlled shoes is a good place to start. However, overpronation-or excessive rolling of the foot and ankle, along with arch flattening-can lead to foot fatigue, pain, and injury over time. “This is known as pronation and is a normal part of gait,” Loretta Logan, DPM, MPH, professor and chairman of the Department of Orthopedics and Pediatrics at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine & Food Center of New York, says.
When walking or running, it's normal for the arch of your foot to flatten slightly and for your foot and ankle to roll in a bit as your foot strikes the ground.
