If you don’t want to spend a lot of time doing research and just want a great all-around shoe, we recommend the Asics GT-2000 12. The structure and technology of the base promotes a smooth, stable walk or run, which is ideal for anyone who overpronates. On the interior, you can expect great cushioning, comfortable arch support and a secure fit to reduce the chance of blisters. Bonus features: This shoe comes in three different widths, and Asics online offers free shipping over $50 and free returns when you sign up to be a OneASICS member.

On the other hand, the toe box could use more room, especially during a run when the feet swell. Many sizes are also out of stock.

Hunting for a good shoe for overpronation on a budget? If so, check out the Asics Gel-Sonoma 6. This is an earlier model of the Gel-Sonoma (like an iPhone 8 instead of an iPhone 14) that offers just as much stability throughout the base to keep your feet centered. In addition, it’s well suited to hiking trails and other outdoor adventures thanks to a tough exterior.

However, the Gel-Sonoma is currently only offered in a standard width. The shoe may also feel a bit clunky for road runners.

Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) sells sneakers that you’ll never want to take off. Case and point? The MTR-1500 II. This comfortable shoe, approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association, comes with an orthopedic insole, which prevents the arch from collapsing, absorbs shock and cushions each step. It also has a heel sensor, which reduces impact on the knees and hips. Overall, this is an excellent shoe for walking, long days on your feet or distance running. Note that shipping is free on $99+ orders, and returns are free if you use the enclosed shipping label.

The downsides: This is one of our priciest recommendations. In addition, the shoe can feel quite heavy on a run. The brand recommends ordering a half-size up from your normal shoe size (which is common for sneaker brands).

The HOKA Arahi 7 was designed with overpronators in mind. It contains HOKA’s “J-frame” technology, which prevents your foot from rolling inward without overcorrecting your gait or causing discomfort in your arch. The cushioning is balanced and neutral, so it absorbs shock and adds comfort during short and long runs alike. Also, regular and wide widths are available.

What you might not like: The Arahi 7 feels somewhat inflexible, and a few buyers wish the toe box had slightly more room. Bear in mind that the cushioning is also lower than most HOKA shoes, and some runners may miss that “cloudlike” feel.

What you’ll love about the ABEO MXV Shift: This lightweight, breathable shoe offers excellent arch and heel support to prevent your foot from rolling too far inwards. The removable orthotic footbed comes in neutral (for buyers without forefoot pain) and metatarsal (for buyers with forefoot pain). In addition, this is a great pick if you struggle not just with overpronation but also plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, bunions or Morton’s neuroma.

However, you may need to size up by half a size to get the right feet, especially if you plan on running or walking long distances in these shoes. The shoe may also cause blisters under the ankles if you don’t wear socks above the ankle.

If you love to run on the road, your sneaker ought to have somewhat thick midsoles and insoles, a durable exterior and great stability. The Brooks Launch GTS 10 ticks all of these boxes and more. The Brooks Guardrail technology keeps your feet in alignment on short, medium and long runs alike. Plus, buyers report that the wide toe box and modest heel height create excellent stability. Shipping is free via Brooks online, as are the 90-day returns.

The downsides: A few buyers complain that the shoe feels narrow, and others wish the toe box were slightly larger. The lower level of padding may also cause discomfort depending on running style.

If the Brooks Launch GTS 10 feels a bit too firm for you, consider the Nike React Infinity 3. This tried-and-true running shoe is ideal if you need stability to help prevent overpronation put like the spring of a higher heel with extra cushion. Plus, the reactive foam retains its springiness over time. Nike offers free shipping on $50+ orders and free 60-day returns when you sign up for a free online account.

As with many running shoes, you may need to purchase a half size up from your normal size. Also, the breathable knit upper isn’t ideal for rain, and a few long-distance runners only recommend it for shorter runs.

In terms of making customizable shoes for any foot and any foot condition, no brand does it better than OrthoFeet. The Nira Hands-Free is an excellent all-around pick if you struggle with overpronation, thanks to a removable, cushioned orthotic insole and a cushioned sole to reduce impact. It also comes with an arch booster and extra spacers, which you can add to the inside of the shoe to create even more cushion and reduce the interior depth. Plus, the hands-free heel and water-repellant upper help make this an ideal everyday shoe. Orthofeet shipping is free across the contiguous US, and 60-day returns are also free.

On the other hand, a few buyers report that the shoes squeak on certain surfaces. Also, the wide-width sizes may feel too wide while the normal width may feel too narrow. If this is the case (ie. you need a slightly wider fit but are worried that a wide-width size would be too large), try the Orthofeet Yari, the men’s version, instead. Order one to one-and-a-half sizes down from your normal size.

When you run or walk, do you tend to lead with your heel? If so, the MBT Huracan-3 Lace Up is a great option for you. It offers excellent stability, and its significant rocker quickly transfers your weight from the heel to the middle of the foot, then off to the end. The toe box has a decent amount of room to help your toes spread out, and the orthopedic, padded footbed helps absorb shock and keep your foot in alignment.

However, the Huracan-3 Lace Up is one of our most expensive recommendations. It also has too much of a rock for certain activities like weight lifting, and the overall feel of the shoe takes time to get used to.

If you loved the Sorel Kinetic Breakthru Sneaker worn by Sydney Sweeney a few years ago, you’ll love the updated version: The Kinetic Impact II Wonder. This comfortable, pull-on sneaker features a secure fit around the ankle to prevent blisters, breathable materials to wick away sweat and a molded, removable footbed to keep your gait centered. The anti-slip rubber outsole also adds to this shoe’s longevity. Lastly, return shipping is free in the US.

The downsides: This shoe is not sold in wide widths, and the normal width may feel narrow. Plus, a lack of real laces means you might not be able to achieve a snug fit. A few buyers wished for more padding on the interior as well. Note that shipping is only free on $150+ orders.

If you work in medicine and spend countless hours on your feet, the Clove Women’s Supercush Waterproof Forte shoes are for you. We love how supportive and comfortable they feel from the very first wear, thanks to a dual-density foam core and fatigue-reducing technology. They also have waterproof exterior and fluid channeling on the sole to prevent slipping. Shipping is free on $49+ orders, and exchanges are also free.

What you might not like: Return shipping in the US costs $10, and some buyers find the shoe width too narrow and the toe box too small. (Buying a half size up may help this issue.)

You might not think that a pair of clogs is going to do much for your feet during eight or more hours of standing, but the DANSKO XP 2.0 Clogs are here to prove you wrong. The inside and exterior materials are durable and made to withstand intensive use. Plus, the removable footbed creates natural arch support while the inner frame creates stability and reduces overpronation. The rocker bottom also keeps the foot moving forward, so they don’t feel too clunky. Ultimately, this is a shoe that withstands the test of time, so it’s worth the investment.

The downsides: A few customers have found the inner top of the shoe to be too stiff. Also, a few have struggled with quality issues, such as staples coming out of the sides and the rubber outsole peeling off. Dansko customer service may try to rectify the situation depending on the issue, though this isn’t guaranteed.

Tired of wearing clunky boots in the rain or during water activities? If so, check out the XTRATUF Women’s Kiata Waterproof Sneaker. The sock-like opening, lightweight upper and cushioned, perforated midsole make for a comfortable walking experience for all foot types. Plus, the break-in period is quick; the shoes go from stiff and tight to light and comfortable in just a few wears. Note that shipping is free on orders over $75, and 30-day returns are free as well.

However, the Kiata isn’t sold in wide widths, and the sole could use more cushioning for runs. The drawstring laces are also thin, and they easily come untied unless you double knot them.

If you’ve always wanted a pair of classic Allbirds but worry that they don’t have enough support for overpronation, consider the Women’s Tree Dasher 2. This seamless, washable sneaker has more structure than the original Allbirds Tree Runner, so it helps guide the foot more during walks and runs. The heel also has more cushion, and the shoe is easy to slip on and off. We love that these trainers are made out of sustainable materials, and that shipping is free on $75+ orders.

What you might not like: Return shipping is not covered, and a few buyers report that the latest model of the Tree Dasher is not as comfortable as previous models. If your feet are very flat, this also might not be an ideal trainer for you since they don’t have stiff structure.

The Kizik Women’s Athens Sneaker is not something you thought you needed, but it will make your life 10 times better. The easy-on, easy-off sneaker comes with a foamy outsole to give your foot extra cushioning, and the removable and washable insoles have a natural contouring to help keep your feet in alignment on walks. Plus, the soles have rubber traction pods to prevent slips. Note that Kizik offers free shipping and free returns.

However, a few customers found the shoes too uncomfortable and couldn’t get refunds because they had worn them for longer than a try-on. Others found it difficult to find their perfect size (you may need to size up by half a size to get it right).

If you’re looking for a hiking boot that not only prevents overpronation but also alleviates foot pain, try the KURU Quest Women’s Hiking Boot. This lightweight, cushioned boot has shock-absorbing and heel-hugging technology to alleviate joint pain and distribute your weight evenly during long walks. The roomy forefoot also gives your toes plenty of room to swell during intense activity. Plus, KURU offers free shipping, exchanges and returns on this boot.

Unfortunately, these hiking boots may cause blisters if they are slightly large on your feet. It’s therefore difficult to pick the right size, as sizing up for a hiking boot is often recommended. Also, these shoes are not sold in wide widths.

Searching for an everyday dress-up and dress-down sandal that reduces overpronation and eases foot pain? The NAOT Eliana Slingback Sandal is our top pick. The cork and latex footbed molds to the foot over time, offering custom arch support and excellent foot stability. The suede straps also create a comfortable feel from the very first wear. Plus, shipping is free on $100+ orders — a threshold that is easily met with this purchase.

These sandals are an investment, so they are pricey. In addition, half sizing is not available, and NAOT does not cover return shipping.

While slides aren’t ideal for overpronation because they don’t have a backing to alleviate foot strain, they are a great alternative to heels, which can be much more painful. The NAOT Liv Sandal is the perfect high-heel replacement because it works with a wide variety of outfits, from casual to formal. As with other NAOT sandals, it also has a cork and latex footbed which molds to your foot the more you wear it. This molding, along with the lip around the footbed to keep the foot in line, makes the shoe extremely comfortable. Bonus: Shipping is free on orders over $100.

On the other hand, this shoe runs narrow and is not available in a wide width. This improper fit can then cause the toes to move sideways in the shoe during walks. The slide is also not available in half sizing, and return shipping is not covered by NAOT online.

If you’re hoping to find a walking boot that not only alleviates overpronation but also withstands the test of time, the Beckett Simonon Amelia Chelsea Boot is the answer. This full-grain leather boot is handcrafted by artisans in Bogota, Colombia under ethical working conditions. We love that the leather-lined, cushioned and shock-absorbing EVA insole molds to your foot over time, and the grippy TPU (polyurethane) sole prevents slips, even in oil. Plus, the adjustable buckle, durable elastic on the side and pull tab makes for easy on and off. Beckett Simonon offers free shipping, returns and exchanges within the contiguous US, a 30-day money back guarantee and a one-year warranty against defects.

Since these boots are handcrafted, it may take nine to 12 weeks before they are shipped out to you. They also are not sold in wide widths, though ordering a half-size up should make them more roomy on the sides. Note that the classic, almond-shaped toe box may feel narrow depending on your feet.

Need a heel that doesn’t cause the foot pain of a classic heel? We recommend the Sargasso & Grey Lena Wide Width Slingback. This non-wobbly kitten-heel is designed for wide-width feet, and the insoles contain memory foam padding. In addition, the upper cut covers the toe joint to prevent forefoot pain, while the ankle strap keeps the foot in place and prevents significant overpronation. Bonus: Shipping is free for US customers, and 30-day returns are free as long as the shoes show no signs of wear.

However, these are luxury heels, so they are a significant investment. Sargasso & Grey also doesn’t sell standard-width sizing as it caters to wide-width feet.

Shoes made with sustainable materials don’t always cater to overpronating feet, but the Nike Structure 25 Running Shoes are an exception. Its materials are recycled from post-consumer and manufacturer waste, and its stable structure along the base creates a smooth, even ride. The stack height of the shoe also increases comfort, as does the natural arch support and wide toe box. Shipping via Nike online is free for members on $50+ orders.

The downsides: These shoes run small, so Nike recommends ordering a half size up. A few customers have also complained that the tongue is too thick and can feel bulky if you like to tie your sneakers tight. If you’re hoping to get in a few extremely fast miles, this might not be the right shoe. Overall, however, this shoe is a great pick.
