Running Shoes Explained >> Motion Control Running Shoes Explained

Motion Control shoes are designed for the severe overpronator. A severe overpronator has a foot whose arch is too flexible and collapses excessively. This causes the foot to roll inward at an extreme angle and puts strain on the shins, knees, and lower back. Motion Control shoes are straight lasted and have a very broad base for support. Motion Control shoes will also have either a dual density midsole or a rollbar, or both, for added pronation control. Don't assume that just because a company or magazine says a shoe is "Motion Control" that it is. Test the shoe by twisting it to make sure it is rigid through the arch.
