The best running shoes for overpronation 2023
As 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 underpronate.
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 gait analysis will provide key information about the way you run, and help you to choose the right type of shoe for their running gait, both optimising performance and reducing the risk of injury
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.
