Product Information

You can also try this wet test. “Wet the bottom of your feet, then step onto colored paper. An oval-like image on the paper indicates a flat foot or an overpronator. A skinny question mark-like image indicates supination (under pronation) and something in between these two images is what is considered a normal arch,” Dr. Pinker says. During test walks, we felt the support from the shoe’s Active Motion System technology, which includes a removable orthotic, molded midsole, and thermoplastic heel. The higher heel cuff provided additional ankle support, which is ideal for those with sensitive ankles or previous ankle injuries. 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.

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. 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. 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. These shoes are great for someone with moderate to severe overpronation who needs a lot of support. They have good traction and are made specifically for trails.Pain in your heel and arch may also be a sign of overpronation, especially when combined with one of the above tests, though not all foot pain is related to overpronation. BioMoGo full-length midsole offers resilient cushioning and is made of environment-friendly, biodegradable materials.

They’re available in five widths in sizes 5-13, making them a great shoe for a variety of foot shapes and sizes.If you’re hitting the trails, it's important to have a shoe that offers excellent stability and really good traction underfoot, and the Apex Women’s Trail Runner meets (and exceeds) those criteria.
