The Alchemy has dominated this category for years because it manages to remain lightweight and responsive while being packed with motion control features. It also manages to provide a similar level of cushioning to some neutral running shoes, which makes it ideal for heavier runners who require more impact protection.

If you’re a heavier over-pronating runner with flat arches, look no further than the Brooks Beast. It offers rigidity, guidance and, thanks to its full-length MoGo midsole, extra bounce as your foot comes up off the floor, making it energy-efficient. It’s seriously comfortable to boot.

This is less weighty than many motion control shoes, but it isn't lightweight on the performance front. A supportive upper controls even the most excessive over-pronation, while the Grid cushioning ensures your feet are protected and comfortable throughout your run.

A good shoe for bigger chaps with flat arches. This well-cushioned, stable trainer has a reinforced graphite bar on the medial side to stop excessive pronation. It also has an N-Lock integrated lace and webbing system for a more comfortable fit.
