Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. If discomfort persists, consider if the neutral design is suitable for your foot type.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The DNA FLASH v2 cushioning may degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on usage and running surface.
Upper material seems less breathable
Ensure the mesh upper is clean and free from debris. Sweat and dirt can sometimes clog the pores, reducing airflow. Gently clean with a damp cloth.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
