Do support shoes have less cushioning?
There are three general categories of shoes: Neutral, Stability and Motion Control shoes. Neutral shoes are also called “cushion” shoes, a term that leads to understandable confusion. The answer is an overwhelming “NO”. Shoe manufacturers do not remove cushioning when they add support. As a matter of fact some of the most supportive shoes have the most cushioning. It is true that they may not feel as cushy because often times support technologies are a little rigid, but make no mistake, you are not sacrificing overall cushioning when you go to a more supportive shoe.
