Why is Overpronation bad?
Why is Overpronation bad?
Overpronation puts people at an increased risk of developing specific injuries. This is because it disrupts the body’s natural alignment and causes increased impact when the foot strikes the ground. Athletes with overpronation, particularly runners, see an increased likelihood of developing overuse injuries.
How can I tell if I pronate or Supinate?
Look at the soles of your shoes and identify the areas where the wear is most pronounced. If the outer part of your sole is the most worn out, then you are a supinator, like about 10% of the population. If it is the inner part of your sole that is the most worn out, then you are a pronator, like 45% of the population.

Can Overpronators wear neutral shoes?
Neutral runners and those who supinate may choose to run in any kind of running shoe. Most overpronators, however, can benefit from a shoe with added stability.
Can neutral runners wear Asics Kayano?
As a neutral runner I have done most of my long runs in ASCIS GEL Nimbus but have recently discovered the supported ASICS GEL Kayano 25 as a really good alternative. Nimbus is another well-cushioned shoe by ASICS but a neutral one.
How do I know if I need a neutral or stability shoe?
Other telltale signs of needing stability shoes include an excessive wear pattern on the inside (or medial) edge of the bottom of your current running shoes. If that side is considerably more worn than the outside (or lateral) edge, it’s probably a sign that you’re overpronating and need stability shoes.
Will a stability shoe hurt a neutral runner?
Yes. Many neutral runners have relatively high arches. The support element in stability shoes changes your gait – preventing you from pushing off over the big toe and can cause all kinds of problems from the feet up.
Can neutral runners wear Brooks Adrenaline?
If one looks past the raised midsole (Guiderails) sidewalls, then the Adrenaline is a supportive neutral running shoe. There’s nearly no bias. Even though the medial midsole is slightly softer, its solid sidewall design provides greater stability than the grooved lateral side.

Do I need stability running shoes if I wear orthotics?
Stability shoes can actually be very good at holding orthotics. In individuals with orthotics specifically for arch support, these are often the best choice, as the dense foam under the arch prevents the orthotic from compressing or falling into the arch. The key is finding a shoe that your specific orthotic fits into.
Do you need stability shoes if you pronate?
If you overpronate, your foot rolls inward more than then “ideal” 15 percent (common in people with flatter feet), so you’d choose a stability shoe to help evenly distribute the impact.
What type of running shoe is best for orthotics?
Because orthotics tend to be thick and take up a lot of space in a shoe, the best running shoes have additional volume in the upper, especially once the factory insert is removed….
