It really does depend on how your ankle rolls during the stride. The "wet foot test" may not tell you this.
Drawing vertical/horizontal lines on the back of the Achilles and then getting yourself videod running (ideally on a treadmill but that's a bit tricky nowadays) in trainers without socks (so you can still see the lines you've drawn) will show you a lot more.
If you google for some videos of examples of pronation/supination you can find some really excessive examples that would need specific shoes. Most people will be within the range that "neutral" shoes would come fine with.
