Difference between a neutral shoe, a motion control shoe, and a stability shoe?

A “neutral shoe” or one described only as a “cushioning shoe” means that it is made for someone with a neutral walking or running gait — someone who does not pronate (rolling your foot inward) or supinate (rolling your foot outward). If the wear on your sneakers looks even on both the inside and outside heel, you are probably a neutral runner.

A “stability shoe” is one that helps with pronation control. This type of shoe is designed with technology such as a Rollbar, TS2, Extended Web, or medial and lateral posts.

A “motion control shoe” is one that helps with both pronation and supination. This type of shoe will have the Rollbar technology combined with the medial and lateral posts.
