Underpronate, Overpronate, or Neutral?

I have been wanting to get back into shape and I've spent almost $900 so far on shoes that won't cause me pain and I'm starting to think of not running anymore. I've been out of the Marine Corps for about a year and a half and never was told what my foot type was just issued shoes. I'm 250 lbs and 6 foot. That's the reason I'm getting back into shape and hope to get down to my Marine weight i was at 176 lbs. I'm wondering what my foot type is?

i see some mild overpronation. don't buy expensive stability shoes. just get lightweight, neutral shoes, and ease into the running. ankle and calf exercises will help with alignment.

stability shoes are a crutch. they help with the short term, but more cushioning/stability = less work for your feet and ankles, so they WEAKEN because of these so-called proper shoes. google "posterior tibialis overpronation exercise" and you should find a page or pdf that shows a special version of a calf raise

Your left foot isn't pronating as much as your right. I'd try a high neutral shoe first, try an Asics-Nimbus. If your still coming in on those, try an Asics-1160, or a Saucony-Guide 4. You don't want too much stability or else it will push your left foot out too far.

left foots okay, but the right foot is pronating so any stability shoe

Flat feet lees prone to injuries than an arched feet look up a medical book!

Wrong terms when it comes to the feet theres is no pronation or overpronation on the feet or supination those terms apply only to hand and forearm movements. Feet terms inversion or eversion look up a medical book.

As a physical therapist, my first question is about your pain. Where do you feel the pain? When do you feel the pain? When does the pain go away and do you do anything to help alleviate it? Do you have flat foot (no arch on the bottom of one or both sides)? How long do you exercise and how long have you been exercising at this level? The answer to these Q's can help determine if it is your shoes or another condition.

Was thinking about you after reading your post. How is your weight loss coming along? For God's sake STOP running! It is horribly bad on the knees and joints! Keep walking at least 4 x's a week and keep carbs under 2000 a day and you'll lose the weight. I only wear Nike Air shoes and have never had a problem. An overweight body is more damaging to knees, hips and ankles than any shoe!

Overpronate on right foot, fairly neutral on left. Compare/check length of legs from hip (spina iliaca anterior superior) to medial ankle. If same, use heel support in right shoe (antipronation insole).
