best running shoes with motion control image
Lloyd
I have run before and am going to take it up again. I know both help with over pronation, but just don't understand the difference between the two. I know some are classified Motion Control and some are Stability.
Answer
Motion control controls how your foot turns. It is usually a "bar" built into the bottom of the shoe and that bar moves your foot from the outside (when your heel hits the ground) to the inside (when you push of the ground) You should stay away from shoes that say Motion control and the reason I say this is because it is forcing your foot to do something. It is better to let your foot move on its own from the heel to the toe.
Stability is just how the whole shoe is built. For example if you take two shoes, one is made for light weight and the other made for stability. If you try to bend the toe of the shoe back to the heel the light weight shoe will almost bend in half while the stability shoe will not. Stability is a good thing.
Look for stability, not motion control

Does using an orthotic change the type of running shoe you can wear?

I have flat feet. Before I got fitted for orthotics, I wore a high stability and motion control shoe to compensate for the overpronation. Now that I have and use an orthotic, can I use any type of running shoe -- i.e. more cushioned shoe as opposed to stability?
Answer
The answer is no. Motion control and cushioned shoes work in different ways. One is designed to lessen the effects of overpronation- as you know. The difference is a physical one, in the design of the shoe, and it is quite significant. In fact you can see the difference between the types of shoes easily just be looking at them. Most orthotics, for instance Superfeet, simply work to support the foot better and provide a good, solid, and stable platform for the foot. However, they are not substantial enough to compensate for something such as overpronation. Orthotics will help but I think that they should be used in tandem with motion control shoes to acieve the best results.
