What is a structured running shoe? This is a type of running shoe that is designed to provide additional stability for runners who overpronate or have low to flat foot arches. They offer an extra cushion to help shock absorption to help avoid impact injuries. How do I tell if I overpronate? You can tell if you overpronate if the inside section of your sole shows more wear than the outside. You can also check your feet to see if there's a gap between your foot and the floor where the arch is. Is theres no clear space then you might be overpronating. It's best to check with a professional gait analysis to be sure.
