Antipronation Running Shoes

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 GTS / Asics GT-1000 / Asics GT-2000 / Asics Gel Kayano / Brooks Glycerin GTS

Hoka Arahi

Hoka's popular supportive road running shoe, the Arahi has been updated with small tweaks. It gives excellent arch support in two ways. A wide platform under the arch gives a supportive base to the foot. The innovative J-Frame is 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.

Saucony Guide

Saucony’s PWRRUN midsole gives the Guide a lively underfoot feel. The TPU guidance frame supports the arch effectively without compromising flexibility. Light, cushioned, easy to run in, but stable enough for moderate to heavy overpronators.

Brooks Launch GTS

The Launch GTS replaces the Ravenna. It sits in Brooks’ Energize category as a cushioned, supportive road running shoe. Great for long distances, it also offers you enough spring and flexibility for fast, energised running. Lighter and more flexible than many equivalent support shoes, the Launch offers good support for the arch.

Asics GT-1000

A Litetruss™ support system running the length of the arch and a stable heel counter work together to provide effective stability. Gel cushioning and Flytefoam absorb shock, and an engineered mesh upper offers breathability and control. The GT-1000 is cheaper than most but is still a very good long-distance running shoe.

Asics Gel Kayano

The Kayano is truly a super-shoe, offering a premium cushioned and supportive experience for the overpronating runner. The Flytefoam midsole offers as much cushioning at mile 26 as it did at mile 1 and abundant Gel cushioning delivers the ultimate plush feel. The breathable jacquard-mesh upper cradles the foot and the secure heel-clutch counter holds the heel comfortably without feeling intrusive. Duomax support reduces pronation.

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

Brooks Beast

Brooks Beast

Like its name suggests, this is a Beast of a support shoe. With the updated model, Brooks have 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. Great cushioning and a seam-free comfy upper complete the package.

Over-pronating feet can potentially be stabilised and protected with the insoles below. If you decide to use insoles, please bear in mind that you might need neutral running shoes. Some people may need support shoes plus insoles, but for many people the combination of both could force the feet to roll outwards even more, resulting in discomfort and potential injury.
