Biomechanics are as unique and varied as fingerprints. We all have our own quirks and patterns, and no two runners are exactly alike. It\u2019s important to find a shoe that will accommodate your individual needs. And while no two runners are the same, many runners will share certain traits in common. One of those traits is called pronation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pronation is a perfectly normal aspect of human biomechanics. Most of us will pronate to some degree during our strides. When the foot lands, the arch tends to elongate and lean inward somewhat. This is the body\u2019s way of providing natural cushioning and shock absorption. For some folks, though, that pronation deviates a little too far from their bodies preferred motion pathway when they start running. This can lead to problems or potential injury if left unaddressed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Overpronation can lead to a variety of problems such as pain in the feet, ankles, or knees. Folks who overpronate may be prone to issues in these areas and your first line of defense is going to be your footwear. Support shoes (often called \u201cStability\u201d shoes), offer a protective element to help guide your legs and feet safely through your gait cycle. In Brooks Shoes, that element is something we call our GuideRails holistic support system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The best shoes for overpronation are the shoes we offer amongst our Support category. There are several to choose from and it all depends on what experience you would like out of your run. Do you want a lot of soft cushioning on your run? You should check out the Glycerin GTS 19 or the Adrenaline GTS 21! Are you looking for something a bit snappier and light on your feet? Try the Launch GTS 8 or the Levitate GTS 5. For folks who are prone to severe overpronation, shoes in our Max Support category will be best. The Beast \u201820 for men and Ariel \u201820 for women will offer even more support without sacrificing that plush cushioning underfoot.<\/p>\n
