We are talking about a heavyweight saga such as the GT series from ASICS Running, because excessive overpronation is one of the biggest headaches for a large number of runners when choosing the right running shoe for this profile of runner. Doubts arise, and it is not always easy to find the ideal solution.
With the long history and experience in this field, ASICS offers the runner the sports equipment that best suits their own needs, the different models that make up the renowned GT series family of the Kobe firm come to offer stability and support that the athlete needs in each stride.
Combining the concepts of ASICS and overpronation, the ASICS Gel Kayano 25 -last version released to date- quickly comes to mind as one of the top-of-the-range Running shoes for athletes who need stability control when they go running. But the truth is that the ASICS GT 1000, ASICS GT 2000, ASICS GT 3000 and ASICS GT 4000 are also designed with the mission of controlling excess foot movement in the landing phase during the gait cycle. Specific options for the pronator runner that are worth considering.
How do I know if I need a stability running shoe?
To answer this crucial question, from Runnea we advocate taking a first step consisting of a detailed biomechanical analysis of the footprint, and that will help you, without any doubt, to determine whether you have a neutral, pronator or supinator footprint.
Now, although it is 100% advisable and convenient to carry out a footprint analysis, it is also true that this action is not within our budget, which leads us to use the "home method" to determine whether or not you are a pronator runner:
You have to take hold of your prized Running shoes, put them side by side, and view them from behind, by the heels. The wear of the model itself will give us clues on the matter, and will reveal the type of footprint you have:
If the wear of the shoe is rather uniform, more or less equal on the outside and inside, we will speak of a neutral tread.
If the shoe wears on the inside of the shoe, we are talking about a pronator.
If it is the second option that best suits you, you will be forced to opt for specificRunning shoes for overpronators, and benefit from their advantages:
- Control and correct that inward rolling of the foot.
- Improve running efficiency, and therefore your running experience.
- Increase the feeling of comfort and protection in each stride.
- Reduce the risk of possible injuries.
All in all, and assuming that every runner tends to pronate to a greater or lesser extent. As we have already hinted, but it is necessary to make it clear, excessive overpronation occurs when the rotation of the foot is inward at the time of impact against the ground. And in this sense, ASICS GTRunning shoes have been developed to correct this deviation, and improve your running experience in every long distance training.
