When we refer to stability shoes, what are we talking about?
In general, stability walking and running shoes have additional support features that provide extra stability to the foot. Most often this extra support is added to the "medial" or inside part of the shoe to help prevent the foot from over-pronating or rolling inward excessively when walking or running. This design is similar to what we see in motion control shoes but to a lesser degree. While stability shoes give up a little support and control as compared to their motion control cousins, they offer a lighter, less bulky and more streamlined alternative for someone who may need a little less support but more cushioning.
If we were to look at all athletic running and walking shoes in a larger spectrum of support and control, you would have motion control at one end, neutral cushioning and minimalist footwear at the other end and a range of stability shoes in the middle. Some stability shoes (more often in the walking category) will offer this additional stability equally to both sides of the shoes making them suitable to the under-pronator (foot rolls outward) as well as the over-pronator.
