Subject: what shoes are good for stability/ pronation?


Im a bit of a pronator. high arches. I land on my heels. Does gait
matter? Running on well groomed trails in parks. no roots.

First off everyone pronates. I'd suggest doing a little reading on
gait and the aspects of foot motion from heel strike to toe off to give
yourself some extra knowledge when approaching someon who wants to sell
you some shoes.

New balance had an 840 series designed for slight to moderate pronators
and an 1120 series for more motion control.

Etonic Stable air pro V were a favourite of mine. Given what your
listed I would perhaps also look at getting some medial longitudinal
arch support. Depending on the severity of your pronation this may be
all you need.
