About this deal

We recommend these to someone with mild to moderate overpronation. They are comfortable, responsive, budget-friendly, and stylish. However, not as supportive as some others we tested, so they work better for someone with some pronation, but not a significant amount. A diagonal bar in the middle of the shoe gently aligns your feet, correcting overpronation and providing plenty of stability. And a slip-resistant outsole offers good traction, making these shoes a solid option for walking on wet or uneven ground. We recommend these shoes to someone who needs the ability to switch out to custom orthotics or wants a lighter shoe that still offers maximum support for overpronation and plantar fasciitis. When testing, we liked that these shoes provided ample support and became quite comfortable after the first walk. They felt a little stiff at first, but after a few miles, the pair loosened up without losing their support.

New Balance's 1540v3 is not only great for walking, but transitions well to running errands, playing with your kids, or even for a long day on your feet at work. They’re comfortable, supportive, well-cushioned, and made of durable materials. The ENCAP midsole paired with the Rollbar system gives them one of the best lateral supports out of all the shoes we tested—earning them a perfect score for this feature—which is incredibly important for overpronators.

Brooks' Ariel 20 are technically considered running shoes, but they give walkers who overpronate everything they’d want in a shoe and more. While these shoes run a tad narrow, they offer a snug, comfortable fit and don’t rub or chafe in any spots due to the upper's seamless mesh design.

We also love that Ariel 20 is approved by the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association)—a seal of approval given by podiatrists to shoes that meet specific criteria and are deemed to promote good foot health. If you're searching for sneakers with superior stability for overpronation, these are our favorites. The Addiction 11 is a moderate feature, moderate motion control shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-straight shape.

One thing that stood out to us in particular about these shoes is that they were more responsive than most motion control shoes we tested, making longer walks less tiring. The roomy toe box is perfect for anyone with a wider top foot or bunions, but they do run a bit wide for someone with an otherwise normal foot. Caterpillar Crash Pad is a segmented crash pad that flexes with the foot, offering customized cushioning and stability for a smooth heel-to-toe transition. Cushole S-257 and Combination Last utilizes a fiber board in the rear portion of the shoe to promote stability, and the forefoot is finished in a Strobel manner for additional cushion and flexibility.

They’re available in five widths in sizes 5-13, making them a great shoe for a variety of foot shapes and sizes. BioMoGo full-length midsole offers resilient cushioning and is made of environment-friendly, biodegradable materials.

Neutral

If you’re looking for a maximum motion control shoe, we recommend Apex’s Boss Runner shoe. The Carboplast footbridge provides excellent stability and keeps your foot stable on uneven surfaces, which earned it a perfect score for lateral stability. The shoe should feel slightly snug at the heel and around the sides of the foot so that your foot doesn’t slide around, which could cause blisters. But the toe box should be roomy enough for your feet to swell a little, which can happen when walking for longer distances or in warmer weather. If you’re looking for a supportive shoe that can be worn for miles, Brooks' Addiction Walker 2 is our top choice. When we tried them on in the Lab, we noticed how well they fit right away. They contoured our feet, with a snug upper and heel cup that prevented our feet from sliding around as we walked.
