    So for most of the running I have done over the past few years, I have been using neutral shoes. I am looking at doing longer mileage, hopefully getting a marathon in, and so I thought I would try supportive shoes. Although I have used neutral shoes, I do pronate so I thought using stability shoes would help to prevent issues with the increased mileage. I used a new pair today, and my arches (more so my right one) felt kinda sore the rest of the day. Is this normal?

    I am using the Lunareclipse now, but I have used a few pairs of mizuno wave riders and nike pegasus recently.

    Asics has excellent motion control and stability shoes.

    I'm not specifically asking for good stability shoes, I'm asking if it is normal for my arch to feel sore after using them since this is my first time trying them. I haven't had this issue with other neutral shoes, so I don't know if my feet are used to neutral shoes so stability will hurt them, or if it'll just take me a few runs to get used to it.

    My advice is to go to a local running store and have them look at your old shoes, new shoes, gait and feet. It could the brand of shoe you bought or that you do not need stability shoes. Hard to tell via an internet forum. We would need a lot more information. I can be as simple as having a shoe with a higher or lower arch, different brand or even that you don't need stability shoes

    Asics stability shoes are horrid. If you like the Mizuno Wave Rider just go to the Inspire, same platform with stability built in.

    My first advice would be to get your gait analyzed by someone at a specialty running shop. There's a chance you might not need stability shoes at all.

    A lot of times when people switch from a neutral shoe to a stability shoe they get some arch cramping and soreness. Some times it takes some getting used to if you have never worn a stability shoe before.

    You might also do well in a shoe that doesn't have such and aggressive arch in it like the Lunareclipse.

    Do get your gait checked. Pronation is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe you just need a more stable neutral shoe. Took me over a year to realize that after the running store kept telling me I needed a support shoe. For marathon training I switched to a Mizuno Wave Enigma and loved it. I over-pronate slightly but most support shoes just cause pain.
