Find the Best Men’s Running Shoes for Your Style 

Next, it's important to determine your running gait. Every runner moves differently, and in order to prevent injuries, you need find the best men's running shoes that support and match your movement. There are three different kinds of running gaits: neutral pronation, underpronation, and overpronation. A neutral stride is the product of your body running and absorbing impact in the safest, most efficient way possible. If you are a neutral runner, you land on the outside portion of your foot, but as you move through the gait, it rolls slightly inward, dispersing the shock of impact across your entire foot. Neutral runners generally have a normal arch. Choose cushioned running shoes to keep your feet comfortable mile after mile. 
 
If you suffer from running injuries like stress fractures, muscle strains and sprains, shin splints, or plantar fasciitis, it might be due to under- or overpronation. Underpronation, or supination, happens when you land on the outside of your foot. Due to a high arch, your weight stays on the outside of your foot throughout your entire stride, causing the impact to be concentrated there. This results in a lack of natural cushioning of the foot. If you're an underpronator, choose a cushioned running shoe for men to support your high arches and better disperse the forces of impact while running. 
 
Overpronators, your stride begins the same way, striking on the outside of the foot. However, after impact, your feet roll inwards severely. Caused by flat arches, overpronation can lead to severe ankle, shin, knee, and hip pain. If you're an overpronator, look for motion-control or stability shoes to correct the rolling of your feet and allow a more comfortable run.
