Stability Running Shoes

Suitable for runners who generally consider they have ‘normal’ feet/arches

By Ian Griffiths BSc (Hons) PGCert MChS, sports podiatrist

Stability shoes have cushioning and extra support to limit and decelerate the pronation moments of the foot. They usually have a medial post to provide increased support.

Think about buying these if:

  • You consider yourself to have a ‘normal foot’ following a wet foot test.
  • You feel you have motion control requirements but are a light or mid-weight runner.
  • You wear orthoses (functional shoe inserts) and want a firm midsole and deep heel counter to ‘house them’.
  • You want a shoe with good medial support and durability.
