Finding the right shoes can be a challenge when you experience an over-pronation of the foot while walking or running. This condition can be identified by the foot rolling inward more than usual. The inward rolling of the foot can cause pain or discomfort while walking since the body isn't properly stabilized. There are some shoes that can help create a more normal pronation of the foot, however.

The simplest way to identify over-pronation of the foot is to watch the way that your foot moves when you want. In general, the first and second toes will bear most of your weight as you step up and the foot will roll inwards significantly. You may also notice some problems or pain in the ankle.

There are also some other foot characteristics that you may notice, such as having a flat foot or very low arch. You may also notice that the outer edge of the foot is lifted slightly while stepping, which indicates that the foot has too much of an inward roll. Finding a shoe that supports and aligns the foot properly ensures comfort. New Balance shoes offer a wide range of features that aid you in finding the comfort you need while walking or running.

In treating pronation of the foot it’s a good idea to opt for shoes such as those offered by New Balance, which includes the exclusive Rollbar technology to improve foot placement. New Balance also offers other features that are beneficial to those with over-pronation, including Rear Foot Control, Stabilicore and Stability Web. New Balance shoes features ensure you are comfortable running or walking with each feature.
