Best shoe brand for overpronators?

I have recently read that new research has shown that shoes designed for over/under pronation might actually make it worse. You should wear what feels comfortable and there can be several reasons for you to set shin splints.
Here is one article questioning the special shoes:

I haven't doen extensive research but I suggest you do so before buying super expensive shoes that might make things worse.

My fave is the Brooks Beast. I'm a severe over Pronator. The Brooks Beast has helped me a great deal as i prepare for my first 1/2 marathon in Miami at the end of Jan. I also have the Asics Kanayo. The right shoe will help you so much, good luck with the search

I have a pair of brooks beast as well and love them. They are heavy though...

Hello!

I was evaluated and the store hooked me up with Brooks Addiction. I just bought a new pair, since the previous one worked out so well. Definitely go for a fitting.

I have terrible feet and need a ton of support for my overpronation. I've never been a better, faster, or more comfortable runner than in my REEBOK ZIGTECHS. I sprint and run distance, and these are amazing!

My history is that 2 years ago I started having foot and ankle pain when I was on my feet for more than a couple of hours. There were times when they'd hurt bad enough that I would start limping. I went to a podiatrist and was fitted for custom orthotics, but the week before the orthotics came in I was diagnosed with some tiny tears in the achilles tendon. To avoid a rupture, I had to stop walking at all for a month, then Physical Therapy etc. FWIW, I'm about 45 pounds overweight and I suspect that's a factor for finding a good shoe.

The solution was custom orthotics for overpronation, put in neutral running shoes (the running store experts explained that when have orthotics need to have neutral shoes). I wore Brooks Ghost 5 for months and they were pretty good but the ball of my feet would get sore on days where I walked more than 6000 steps. I went back to the running store and switched to Asics Cumlus 14 - which have more cushioning but have plenty of support. They have been great! I can go 15000 steps in a day and my feet will be fine. I've had the Asics for 3 months now. I sometimes run/walk and they've been good for that also.

I havent read all rthe other replys so someone may have already suggested this but have you been to a podiatrist??, i over pronate something shocking, so have inserts which were made from a cast of my foot (really expensive but so worth it as theyre plastic and wont wear down), since i had that done i haqvent had any issues with shin splints or sore knees, i also find asics shoes great.

Asics asics asics!!

I used New Balance for a long time, but the lighter and more active I got I found Brooks to be more comfortable. BUT last time I bought shoes and I thought I'd never own a pair..... I got Nikes. They were so much more comfortable than the Brooks. I need a big toe box and they have all been narrow in the past. Well, these say Flywire on the sides and so comfortable. Only thing I thought they were butt ugly. Then are gray with pink highlights. Comfort won out over looks.

Really?? I tried Nike a long while back. They seemed very narrow and tight in the toe box. I figured the last they were made on was more for people with "perfect" feet, not mine. That was a long while back. Maybe they have changed their last. I always preferred New Balance because of the toe box, and they have several pair that help with pronation. I also like Asics, although they have a smaller toe box.
