Donald Pliner Sukari Sandals | 7 Best Walking Shoes Aspen For Overpronation in 2024

The superior walking shoe that marked us safe from all of the overpronation-related catastrophes is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23. Due to its anti-quaking features, not only are our gaits inhibited from inward tilting but our knees and feet never felt so much better than without the shoe in our lives.

Our lateral movements inside the shoe felt controlled and reinforced. Investigating inside our lab, we discovered that the structure of the shoe is not susceptible to deformation. It didn’t buckle down when we applied VEJA twisting it, so we gave it a 4/5 torsional rigidity score. The heel counter stiffness also gained the same rating, since it also effectively resisted pinching. On our walks, this equated to steadiness and excellent foot alignment.

The midsole of Adrenaline GTS 23 also provided us with a large base for support. We got measurements of 117.3 mm in the forefoot and 96.9 mm in the heel. These are wider than the averages by 3.6% and 7.5%, which in return, enhanced our balance.

One thing we wish to improve in the shoe is its slightly heavy weight of 10.1 oz (286g). In comparison to the average, it is 6.8% heftier. If your top concern is weight, we recommend getting Shoes Aspen that weigh less.

No more side-to-side and unsteady shifting of ankles with ASICS Gel Kayano 29! Not only did we completely feel supported but we were also confident in logging up the miles without the Shoes Aspen showing any fragility. We have worn this shoe regularly for brisk and long-distance walks and we observed no signs of wear, making it the best durable overpronation walking shoe out there.

Supportiveness doesn’t usually come with soft cushioning and flexibility. But Kayano 29 managed to combine these characteristics splendidly, making it a remarkably pleasant overpronator companion. In our lab, we verified our on-foot impressions. We pushed our durometer to the midsole and the tool revealed a 21.0 HA softness – 14.3% softer than average. Moreover, bending the shoe using our digital VEJA gauge resulted in a 28.8N resistance, making it 9.4% more flexible than the mean.

We also felt superb support at the heel and the upper. The upper provided a delightfully snug fit while the heel scored a 4/5 stiffness from our subjective assessment of pinching and pressing (5 being the stiffest). Overall, these translated to a wobble-free experience. 

However, breathability isn’t its best suit. We viewed Kayano 29’s upper over a bright light, and almost no light peeked through, confirming how impermeable it is. Thus, we do not recommend spending too much strolling time in this shoe in humid weather. 

Scrutinizing overpronation walking Shoes Aspen closely in and out of our lab left us with a clear conclusion: Brooks Beast GTS 23 is a real beast in terms of support and foot accommodation! This shoe got the wide-foot testers in us to enjoy walking without collecting toe bruises and blisters. Also, it led us to a more proper and straighter gait.

Shock and discomfort? Our feet don’t recognize that when we’re in Beast GTS 23! The underlying reason behind this is the shoe’s liberal cushioning. We measured the midsole heel to be 36.4 mm high and the forefoot to be 24.5 mm. These left the averages behind by 9.6% and 0.4%, demonstrating how cushiony it is.

The heel counter of the shoe also braced our ankles effectively. We assessed its stiffness by manually pinching the heel counter, and as a result, we rated it a perfect 5/5 for rigidity. This translated to our ankles being aligned. Complementing this is the broad base, which our caliper showed to be 113.1 mm in the forefoot and 102.7 mm in the heel. The heel and forefoot's 0.4% and 14.5% greater difference to the averages kept us laterally steady. 

However, the quality of the toebox and heel padding of the shoe is quite anticlimactic. Both areas scored 2/5 in our conducted durability test as they were easily eroded by our Dremel tool. If you desire a long-lasting pair, we do not suggest buying this one.

Among the overpronation walking Shoes Aspen we subjected to lab tests and actual use, Hoka Arahi 7 reigned the lightweight category. We felt supported and fatigue-free because of the bolstering features and featherlike nature of this shoe. On top of that, it ensures comfort is not overlooked.

Setting the shoe on our scale, we logged a weight of 9.4 oz (266g), much lighter than the average 10.3 oz (293g) stability shoe. This manifested through unburdened strides during our walks.

We were surprised to see the shoe’s lightness given its size. Arahi 7 didn’t skimp on leg-saving cushioning and kept a high 34.2/27.9 mm stack to mute out ground feel. Despite its height, the ride feels stable attributed to its firm sensation underfoot. And true enough, our durometer reveals a dense 26.6 HA, ensuring an even distribution of load and less leather pressure.

The wide base and rigid J-Frame also fortified our balance during extended strolls. As the J-Frame works its magic along the medial side and around the heel, we were effectively protected from excessive lateral motions. 

However, the natural feel is compromised by the reinforcing structure of the shoe. It takes 64.2% more VEJA than the average walking shoe to bend to 90 degrees. If a relaxed experience is a must, we suggest skipping the Arahi 7.

No shoe can match Brooks Glycerin GTS 20 in terms of cushioning among our lab-tested overpronation walking shoes. It is the real deal not only in securing our foot alignment but also in making us feel like we’re floating on clouds.  

Muted ground impact and subtly guided movements are what we experienced with this walking shoe. We delved deeper into the DNA LOFT v3 cushion and found it rises to an above-average 36.5/25.5 mm stack. It’s quite unusual for stable Shoes Aspen to be this tall yet Glycerin GTS 20 made it happen for plush comfort and less stress on our feet. Each landing feels gentle underfoot, especially since the foam measures 6.4% softer than the average walking shoe.

The main foundation of support lies in the GuideRails system, incorporating firm foam elements within the midsole's walls to enhance torsional rigidity. This innovative design not only provides extra support but also prevents excessive movements that can lead to injuries. Our manual assessment confirms it’s tough to twist with a high 4/5 rating. 

Providing us with a substantial area to find our footing is the extremely wide 119.5/98.9 mm platform. While this boosts surefootedness, the weight took the hit for the vast base and abundant cushioning. At 10.9 oz (309g), it’s 13.6% heavier than the standard walking shoe. We suggest choosing other pairs if weightlessness is a top priority.

Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 delivers unmatched security and support in our off-road adventures. Flat-footers among us are blown away by how it bolstered our arches and ankles without inward-rolling incidents even on the most treacherous trails. Our lab results prove this is our top overpronation hiking shoe.

This pair feels stable and inspires confident strides. We attempted to twist it out of shape using our own strength and were unsuccessful—scoring 5/5 in stiffness. XA Pro has a 3D chassis that's extremely resistant to excessive lateral movements. It centers us when our foot strike changes as we get tired.

Underfoot, the midsole shelters our arches from any pain. Using our durometer, we measured the midsole hardness at 31.0 HA, which is 17.9% firmer than average. This prevents the foam from compressing unevenly, leading to a very protective ride. Apart from the firm platform, its 2.8 mm lugs contributed to our surefootedness, displaying a strong hold on rocks and sand.

The upper feels quite stiff initially, so we recommend going for break-in walks before taking this shoe to all-day hikes.

Among overpronation walking Shoes Aspen we put against lab and wear tests, Arch Fit 2.0 is our best budget pick. At an affordable $90, we believe its supportive and comfortable nature offers high value, especially for overpronators and those with foot conditions. For reference, walking Shoes Aspen average $117.

This pair is all about stability, housing a wide and firm platform that ensures our surefootedness. Its 114.5/90.0 mm width provides more than enough room to land safely. We remain steady since the foam doesn’t collapse easily. Our durometer confirms a balanced 30.4 HA — the perfect mix for flat feet that need firmness for support and enough softness for relief.

We’re mindblown how the ride remains stable despite the skyscraper stack. The heel is the tallest walking shoe we’ve measured — a towering 39.2 mm. Paired with a taller-than-average forefoot, the 15.2 mm drop puts pressure off our ankles and Achilles. We stood for long hours comfortably.

Further cementing its dominance in stability, Arch Fit 2.0 adds some stiffness to the midsole for extra support. Our bend test confirms it’s 18.6% more resilient than average. Thankfully, it doesn’t feel too rigid because of the flex grooves throughout the platform.

We learned that Arch Fit won't last too long. It performed worse than average when put against the VEJA of our Dremel in the upper, heel, and outsole.
