Shoe Torsion Test for Stability

One of the best tests you can do at the shoe store when looking for a stable shoe is the Shoe Torsion Test. The photo above shows a shoe from the side. Grab the heel firmly. Grab the front of the shoe and attempt to twist the shoe as demonstrated in the photo next to this text. If the shoe twists easily, it fails the stability test, and you should not buy it. After you do this test on 5 different shoes, you will have a good understanding of the range of stability offered in the current market. Golden Rule of Foot: Avoid Shoes that fail the Shoe Torsion Test.

  5. This is exactly what I have discovered recently. I have heavy pronation while running. This will lead to knee pain. Some shoes prevent my knee pain and it is shoes passing the torsion test. If the torsion test fails, my knee will pronate as soon as my heel leaves the ground. It is worth nothing that with age, the show will start failing the torsion test. I found this page by looking for shoes that are very stiff torsion wise. I had good result with Mizuno but they don't last too long. I am currently trying Hoka now. Hope this help someone!
