Nike Zoom Equalon+ 4
Nike Zoom Equalon boasts well-engineered mechanics designed to slow down overpronation. It has a dual-density shank and an outsole section that mimics a barefoot pressure path to provide maximum motion control. Additionally, it has a beveled crash pad in its heel as well as a supportive arch to reinforce support on the runner's medial side. Perhaps its best feature as a motion control shoe is its very soft cushioning, providing runners a plush alternative to other heavier motion-control shoes.

Asics Gel-Evolution 5
This shoe is excellent for overpronating runners due to its thick arch and heel support. Its heavy and dense underfoot provides superior motion control while its thick arch support stabilizes the overpronator's gait. Despite its weight: 13.8 oz for men and 11 oz for women, Asics Gel-Evolution 5 retains its flexibility. These shoes are especially beneficial for injury-prone overpronators.
