What is pronation and how does it affect running?

Pronation is the movement of your foot when it strikes the ground during running. Those with normal arches should usually choose a shoe with moderate stability. If you have flat feet, then you probably overpronate, so choose a motion-control shoe. If you have high arches, then you should probably choose a neutral shoe to compensate for under pronation.

What do the New Balance model numbers mean?

Check the last two digits in the running shoes model number to find the right shoe for your foot and running style:

  • 40 (Optimal Control) - For runners with pronation or low arches. Extra control, cushioning, stability and support. These motion-control shoes are perfect for flat-footed runners.
