So you’ve just recently found out that you overpronate and that is why you are now searching for the best stability running shoes available in India.
Lets first understand the logic of stability running shoes and their benefit!
Stability shoes are made for people who overpronate. This means your foot tends to roll slightly inwards when you are running.
Look at the extreme left picture (Overpronation) in the below example.
Runners who over pronate are prone to a number of injuries if they don’t wear the right shoes that provide arch support.
This is the number one reason why brands like Nike, Asics and few others design stability shoes for people with low or normal arch.
We did an extensive research on stability shoes to define what are stability shoes and which are the top rated stability shoes currently in India:
