If I traditionally wear out my shoes tread on the outside, traditional stability shoes would overcorrect towards that direction right? If I want something supportive, I should just get a well-cushioned neutral trainer, since traditional support shoes would tend to roll my feet the wrong way?
Go to a specialist running store and ask them to help you fit a shoe.
Extremely dumb advice.

Just wear wear what feels comfy. It sounds common sense but even the researchers that spend months on this stuff have found that comfort is the biggest predictor of how biomechanical suitable a shoe is.
> traditional stability shoes would overcorrect towards that direction right? Stability shoes have been proven to actually do what they say they do so I think you have a point, OP.
Honestly I just get a mid-range normie shoe from the regular sports shop.

I just but the cheapest shoes, they last around 4-6 months, I run 5 days a week, for around 5-10Km.

Im a 100kg fat fuck who goes for a 5k every time he can (3-4 times a week atm). I just used some old addidas shoes I had that were prettt comfy, but they wore out and I switched to some cheap ones from decathlon and they arent as comfy but its still better than the worn out sole on my old shoes Seems like anything you buy will wear out so adjust according to budget

used to run in my teens back then i wore what was "cool" looking but also sturdy. I feel nike cortez, or adidas sambas never failed me Last pair of running shoes I got were new balance 998's. they lasted 5+ years but mildew or something got into the outer sole and they fell apart after took em out of storage and walked em in the summer heat.

You may have an overpronated foot arch so stability shoes are the recommended choice. Alternatively, you could try getting a pair of good quality insoles and slot them into neutral shoes to give your feet support. Having said all that, it would be best to go to a running shoes shop and get the assistant to do an arch and gait analysis on your fee.

Only good info you’ll find in this thread. Anything else is a meme.

Minimalist shoes, fix your running technique yourself - overcorrecting with artificial cushioning will only mask the problem
I would get Cross Country racing flats or spikes with the spikes taken out. Slowly condition yourself to them but it feels amazing knowing I'll never have to replace these because there is no cushioning to be broken down.
Zero drop, barely any cushioning, enough tread to stop you from getting cut or anything else, lightweight, wide toe box - multitude of good things. It'll punish bad form but make you better for it

I have these. > Extremely comfy > Breathable > Cheap > Feel very stable / secure
I haven't owned any other pairs of running shoes and I've only done 50km in them so far, so wtf do I know?
