Motion-control shoes are the most rigid, control-orientated running shoes. |
|
Designed to limit overpronation (or slow the rate at which a runner overpronates), motion control shoes are generally heavy but very durable.
|
"Do I need motion control shoes?"
You should buy these shoes if:
- you are an overpronator who needs control features and places a premium on durability
- you wear orthotics and want a firm midsole and deep heel counter
- you are a heavy runner who needs extra durability and control
- runners with flat feet often do best in motion-control shoes
