Hey,
I have normal arches. Got a gait analysis because I keep getting injured. Apparently I overpronate. If my feet aren't flat why does this happen? Is it muscular imbalance higher up the chain?
I run neutral shoes and am considering orthotics / stability shoes. But if it's something I can resolve without new gear that'd be swell. Any ideas? Thanks.
pronation is normal. you need it to happen.
If you want the problem to get worse, use orthotics. muscles will atrophy. if you do use them, make sure you strengthen.
really issue- don't be a sissy and get injured.
Why do I get wet dreams?
I disagree with people who immediately say stability shoes are bad for you. You should go to your local running store and try on a bunch of different shoes, including stability shoes. Wear whatever feels the most natural on your foot. I reccomend Brooks Adrenaline 19s. Soft but fairly responsive, and instead of a medial post they use guiderails so it only corrects your stride if you need them to. I personally have run in several shoes with a medial post and have had no problems, but if a run a
lot in neutral shoes I tend to eventually injure my knee.
Here's the deal. Is your "overpronation" causing you injuries? If no, then just keep doing what you're doing, no need to go buy orthotics and other junk. If yes, then go see a doctor, not some salesman at a shoe store and not a bunch of trolls on an internet forum.

Better than dry dreams tbh.

Normal pronation and overpronation is two different things. You don´t say that "overstriding" is normal.

Overstriding is normal. It is how you move forward.
If you overpronate mildly, a stability shoe will work fine. Go to a specialty running store and try on some of them and get them to watch you run.
As someone else mentioned, don't go to an orthotic.

No, it isn´t. Overstriding is when you plant your foot far in front of your body.
