Pronation Guide & Shoe Types

Getting the right fit in running footwear isn't just about size. It's about having the advantages you need to perform your best. Our best is born in the New Balance Sports Research Lab in Lawrence, Massachusetts where we invest countless hours in the study of running pronation.

Types of Pronation

Neutral Pronation: Occurs when the foot rolls inward slightly from the outer edge of the heel through the forefoot and the big toe.

Severe or Overpronation: Occurs when the foot rolls inward excessively from the heel through the midfoot.

Moderate Pronation: Falls between the other two pronation levels.

Shoe Type Why You Should Wear It

Stability

Like a neutral cushioning shoe, but with a moderate amount of pronation control.

Lightweight

Designed for athletes who value speed and agility in lightweight, responsive shoes.

Minimal

Low-profile, lightweight shoes that offer a barefoot fit and feel.
