NORMAL (MEDIUM) ARCH: Third from the left. If you see about half of your arch, you have the most common foot type and are likely a normal pronator. Contary to popular belief, pronation is a good thing. When the arch collapses and the ankle rolls inward, this “pronation” absorbs shock. As a normal pronator, you can wear just about any shoe, but may be best suited to a stability show that provides moderate arch support (or medial stability). Lightweight runners or walkers with normal arches may prefer neutral-cushioned shoes without any added support, or even a preformance-training shoe that offers some support but less heft for a faster feel.
Asics has a great line of athletic shoes for the medium arched foot man. From ones with gel in the insole to ones that offer great stability for your feet. Here are a few of the best ones.
