7 Best Shoes for Supination and Underpronation 2023 Reviewed
With so many supination/ under-pronation shoes (Brooks, Asics, Mizuno, New Balance, Aetrex, Saucony, and Nike), which one do you choose? Hopefully, this guide helps.
To prevent your feet from rolling outward (Supination), I recommend ASICS fuzeX or Asics Gel-Cumulus 19 as best shoes for Supination to allow proper stability and alignment of the musculoskeletal structures.
The models have a more bottomless heel cup, low profile, and are very light. With flexible shoes, you’ll have a number of motion options, and you might even benefit from insoles and women running shoes with better stability.

1. ASICS Fuzex Running Shoe Asics for Supination or Underpronation

Coming with a 6mm heel drop, the shoe is excellent for fast runners. It allows a smooth transition that would be favorable for forefoot, mid-foot, and heel strikers. (1) Fuzex Lyte (2) Discover Fuzex
