The 7 Best Stability Running Shoes for Women to Buy in 2019

Brooks is a category leader in stability running shoes and the Ariel is its most stable shoe for female runners. It gets the top ranking among women’s stability running shoes for its maximum stability, comfort, versatility and performance. The Ariel is specifically designed for low arches and to correct for moderate to severe overpronation while still providing the right amount of cushioning.

Another nice feature is the no-sew upper, which eliminates irritating seams and stitched-on elements and helps to reduce your risk of chafing or rubbing. These shoes work well for runners, walkers, or anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet, and are also a great choice for women looking for relief from foot issues such as plantar fasciitis. They come in regular and wide widths, so you really get a custom fit. While these shoes are certainly not cheap, they’re worth every penny for a high-quality, durable running shoe that provides maximum stability and comfort.

Another great stability shoe from ASICS, the GT-1000 running shoe offers women with flat feet the support and motion control they need, at a lower price than some other high-quality shoes. They’re comfortable and supportive enough to be worn for running or other activities, or as an all-day, on-your-feet shoe.

With a durable rubber outsole, these shoes have the traction and grip you need for running or walking on different surfaces, even when it’s wet. Users love that they feel great right out of the box and don’t require any break-in period. They come in regular or wide widths, as well as many different color combinations, so you can pick the one that best fits your size and preferences.

The ASICS Gel-Fortitude running shoe is designed for maximum support and motion control. It’s wider and deeper than previous models of the shoe, which is perfect if you want to insert your custom-made orthotics.

Although it has good cushioning, it’s still lighter than some other bulkier motion control running shoes, so it’s a solid choice for running. It also features ASICS’ High Abrasion Rubber on high-wear areas of the sole, so it can hold up through many miles of running on asphalt and concrete. These shoes are available in regular and wide widths.

With a great combination of cushioning and stability, the Saucony Redeemer ISO running shoe is a solid choice for women with flat feet who need plenty of motion control. It’s an extremely supportive shoe, but still has the flexibility and comfort you need when walking or running for miles and miles. The breathable mesh prevents your feet from overheating, keeping them dry and blister-free. Available in regular and wide widths, these shoes can accommodate your custom-made orthotics.

Another great stability shoe from Brooks, the Addiction running shoe is a solid choice for moderate to severe overpronators and women who have had foot issues such as plantar fasciitis. It's very breathable and lightweight, but excels at shock absorption and motion control. A very versatile shoe, the Addiction comes in regular and wide widths, so it can accommodate women with narrow heels as well as those who need extra space for wide feet or orthotics.

If you do a lot of trail running and are looking for a stability running shoe that can easily go from the roads to the trails, the ASICS Women's Gel-Kahana running shoes are a solid choice.

Known for their durability, stability, and rugged style, they feature ASICS’ popular GEL Cushioning System for superb shock absorption, comfort and performance. The dual density midsole system gives you the support and stability you need, whatever type of surface you’re running on. We also love the reversed lugs for increased traction on the uphills and downhills, regardless of terrain or weather.

Distance runners who overpronate and need stability for the long haul love the comfort and support they get from the Mizuno Women's Wave Inspire running shoe. The unique double fan wave feature in the outer sole offers moderate support without feeling too stiff. And the improved midsole provides more durability and responsiveness than previous models. Thanks to the breathable and flexible mesh upper, your feet will stay dry and comfortable, even when logging lots of miles in the heat.
