What Are Motion Control Running Shoes?
Motion control running shoes are a type of athletic footwear designed to regulate the foot’s range of motion during running to minimize injury. These shoes are intended for runners who unintentionally roll their feet inward as they run, a tendency which can cause stress in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. While many motion control running shoes are virtually indistinguishable from normal running shoes, they feature an inbuilt support system that provides stability and limits excessive rolling of the feet. Some medical professionals advise against this type of shoe, recommending removable orthotic insoles as a better choice for sustained foot support.
