Best Running Shoes for Arch Support

If your foot collapses in later in the stride, i.e. at the arch, here are some options:

Hoka Arahi / Saucony Guide / Brooks Launch / Asics GT-1000 / Asics GT-2000 / Asics Gel Kayano / Brooks Glycerin GTS

Hoka Arahi

Hoka One One's popular supportive road running shoe, the Arahi 6 has been updated with small tweaks. It gives excellent arch support in two ways: with a wide platform under the arch to give a supportive base to the foot. Also with the innovative J -Frame – a slightly firmer density insert running long the medial (inner) side of the foot and then encircling the ankle, giving maximum support to steady overpronation. The engineered mesh upper is more open at the forefoot for increased breathability and has a soft inner heel collar, to deliver a better fit. Also available in a wide fitting.

Motion Control Running Shoes

Best Motion Control Running Shoes

For the serious over-pronator who needs maximum support from a shoe:

Brooks Beast / Brooks Addiction

Brooks Beast

Like its name suggests, this is a Beast of a support shoe. With a super strong progressive diagonal rollbar to control even the heaviest overpronation. Great cushioning and a seam-free comfy upper complete the package.

With the updated Beast 20 Brooks replaced the firm medial post with new GuideRails technology to provide support for over-pronation. Brooks' primary focus is on the knee. GuideRails technology restricts the rotation of your heel, and that way brings your foot and your knee to a more natural alignment.

£125.00

Brooks Addiction

Super-supportive and solid motion-control shoe with ample shock absorption. Roomier than most in wide fittings (D or 2E for women, and 2E for men). Plush insole for step-in comfort.
