There are important distinctions between neutral and stability running shoes, and you’ll want to know which you need when you shop for new running shoes. Neutral running shoes feature little or no structural support to help offset pronation and control movement; they are designed to be “neutral” across the shoe, so your feet are free to move and flex naturally while you run. Stability shoes are designed with structures to keep your foot and ankle stable and in the correct position while you roll through your gait cycle.
