I don't use them for myself, but for some people they work amazingly. You will just have to buy ones for your level of overpronation and see if they work. You may have just wasted some money, or you might be very happy with the result, but it would be a good idea to find out, despite the risk of them not working.
Well, your shin and ankle rotate inward when you overpronate, so that is basically what happens. The best way to correct that is to buy shoes for overpronators, or with good stability.
You would still probably get the same maximum support shoes for each foot, and depending on what the shoe store person says, maybe you would get a different insole on each, but more than likely, the same for both.
She would need to go to a specialty running store, not a big chain store, but one with people who actually know what shoes you need. I can tell you you need maximum arch support, but you would need to ask the person at the store which exact shoes would be the best. You might even think about buying a different insole, for greater arch support to keep your foot from rolling inward.
But, once an overpronator, always an overpronator. Your foot will always roll inward without proper support.
She has pretty bad overpronation, if she likes asics, she should get the gel evolutions for better motion control, not the 2000 series she is wearing in the video
Hi jdfjlsj, I was wondering if I could ask for your advice on shoe choice please?
With the soles of my current shoes, one wears evenly, but the other wears more to the outside (the side where I fractured my neck of femur). I have quite high arches and weigh 180lbs (6`3").
I guess I need cushioning shoes, but your advice would be greatfully recieved
You should wear the shoes that wear the most evenly. You certainly overpronate a lot, so I would recommend shoes with arch support to control your degree of overpronation. However, the thing about feet is that no two pairs are alike, and if you have less problems with one shoe over the other, then by all means, wear that shoe. But the ones that wear evenly would be the best, most likely.

She has fairly severe overpronation.
