Isn’t pronation one of those myths used to sell expensive inserts?
(I know it is a thing but that it is actually an issue)
Tenderloin-
It’s a double edged sword.
Worth a quick read:
https://fellrnr.com/wiki/The_Science_of_Running_ShoesBut there’s two points to be made-
1 you have arch support (which provides pronation support/ reduction) in pretty much every shoe on the market.
2 shoes without- ie the vibram/ vivos, need technique work first, then you can do distance.The coupling of these- in this case is a overuse injury which could cause genuine damage if pushed too far.
I personally buy into the don’t use support philosophy, but I also spent 3 months a few years ago just running barefoot around Putney cricket pitch.
And now use - for anything more than 5k on very soft ground, a cushioned shoe. I’m yet to find a good replacement for the magic virratas but the a9 is good.

I meant to post this to @edmundro
But its a great resource in general.
I suspect, sadly, that you may need some pronation protection @edmundro- might be worth a quick gait analysis at one of the shops that offer it.
