ARCH NEMESIS: OUR FAVOURITE STABILITY SHOES

Here’s a plot twist, did you know most Asians have low arches? Our arches tend to keep it closer to the ground, literally. Low arches cause overpronation, where your feet roll inward a little too enthusiastically while you walk or run. This can mess with your comfort levels, affect how you move, and if you’re running regularly, can up your injury risk. But stability shoes, traditionally the go-to for flat-footed overpronators, have undergone quite a renaissance. No longer the domain of dad joggers or orthotic obsessives, today’s models blend innovative, biomechanical brilliance with design aesthetics that won’t compromise any vibe. 

These shoes offer structure where you need it, and take pressure off your knees and ankles. But are overbuilt stability runners suited for your daily outfits, or are they confined to the no-go fashion zone?

Enter our line up of stability sneakers that bring the form and function for every level of runners. Whether you’re clocking mileage or just running to burn off that chicken rice you had, these stability shoes ensure less wobble and more stride.

For The Norm-core Runner: New Balance 990v6

The OG dad-shoe is also at its core, a hefty structured trainer. Pure chunky goodness that also aids support to your run, without the fancy stripped down tech of newer running shoes. Perfect for dads and supermodels alike. 

The Creative LSD Runner: ASICS GEL-KAYANO 31

The performance cult classic goes sleek in a triple black iteration. Sculpted midsoles for adaptive stability, breathable mesh, and FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning is offered in a top-tier silhouette for your geeked out long-distanced runs. 

The Fashion Co-signed Workhorse: New Balance 860v14

Don’t let the utilitarian exterior fool you, the 860v14 is a heavy duty trainer wrapped in a tastefully engineered package for more serious overpronators. It ditches the traditional rigid medial post for an innovative Stability Plane, and offers plush cushioning with Fresh Foam X. How cool is the 860? Its earlier predecessor, the 860v2, gained props from Aimé Leon Dore via numerous collaborations on this beloved model.

Less Chunk Please: ASICS GT-2000 13
