If you overpronate, and especially if you are a heavy person who overpronates, you may need the correction and support these firm and heavy shoes provide. The listed shoes are high-quality shoes with motion control technology. I list running shoes because the best technology goes into running shoes rather than walking shoes. No shoe is right for everybody - get fit for the shoe that is best for your foot and walking style.
Top Picks for Stability Shoes
Stability shoes are more flexible than a motion control shoe while providing good support and durability. These shoes are for people who do not have severe motion control problems and mid-weight people. They tend to have a thick heel, which is not needed by walkers. The shoes listed are quality shoes with a good track record. Get fit by an expert to find the pair that is right for you.
Top Picks for Cushioned Shoes
Cushioned shoes are designed for those who have no more than mild overpronation, they do not correct for rotation. Walkers generally have less need for cushioning than runners, since walkers put far less impact force on the foot with each step. These shoes have maximum midsole cushioning with minimum support.
Top Picks for Performance Training Shoes
A performance walking shoe is lightweight, well-balanced, with just enough cushioning for you to put in the mile in comfort. These shoes are best for walkers with a neutral gait.
Top Picks for Racewalking Shoes
A racewalking shoe must be extremely flexible as racewalkers roll through each step. A racewalker strikes with the heel, but it is a more gentle impact than that of a runner. A low, tapered and not overly cushioned heel is wanted. The shoe should be flat from heel to forefoot. The shoe should be lightweight for speed. It needs just enough cushion for long distance.
