FAQs
Mild vs severe overpronation?
Mild overpronation: stability shoes work. Severe overpronation: motion control shoes (heavier, more correction). Brooks Beast or ASICS Gel-Foundation Workout for severe cases.
Pronation test?
Look at the wear pattern on your old running shoes. Excessive wear on inside (medial) of the heel = overpronation. Outside wear = supination. Even wear = neutral.
