Willems et al. 2021, Motion-control shoes and pronation-related injuries

Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial (372 recreational runners, 6 months; Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy 51(3):135–143). Runners in motion-control shoes had a lower risk of pronation-related injuries (Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciopathy, exercise-related lower-leg pain, anterior knee pain) than those in standard neutral shoes (hazard ratio 0.41), but no difference in other injuries. A narrow, specific benefit rather than support for prescribing shoes by foot type generally. Moderate.
