Running shoes for overpronation
We estimate whether each shoe performs differently for reviewers who report overpronation. The signal is usually subtle, so this page shows the data without treating narrow differences as proof.

What the data can say
The model borrows strength from all reviews, then estimates a shoe-specific overpronation slope. A positive slope would suggest a shoe rates unusually well for overpronators after accounting for its baseline rating.
Most slope intervals are wide, so small differences should be read as weak evidence. Stability shoes can still be sensible choices, but the review data does not always separate them cleanly from neutral shoes.
Highest overpronation fit estimates
Ranked by pronation slope, not by overall popularity.
The Better Shoes Rating uses our 0–100 scale. Overpronator stars are the model's expected star rating from overpronators, and star lift is that figure minus the expected star rating from all runners.
