Running shoes for supination are made for runners whose foot tends to roll outward as they run (supination, also called underpronation). Supination is the opposite of pronation and can go with a high arch.

The scientific studies to date (1) suggest that excessive supination raises the risk of injury.

In practice, that means wearing comfortable, stable shoes that never cause the slightest discomfort, let alone pain.

That said, the brands’ own labels can make the choice confusing. Supinators are a minority, fewer than 15% of people according to Runner’s World (2), so few models are built specifically to address supination.

Our 2026 Selection

Here are the criteria that matter when you choose your shoes as a supinator:

• Neutral shoes: avoid stability shoes. Their rigid medial post is there to limit pronation, and it can make the outward roll of your stride worse.
• Firm cushioning: this setup gives your shoes structure, and structure means stability.

The shoes below meet these criteria and should suit supinators. If in doubt, ask a healthcare professional who specializes in running.
