Try doing something Bob Gajda invented. Make a sandwich of two 2 X 4's screwed together, 10 to 12 ft. long, and "support" them with sponges or carpet padding so they float on an unstable platform and walk and train on it. This will strengthen and balance your foot, and musculature, so that it does not overpronate

I also overpronate. Currently I am running in the Brooks Ariels. A lot of people like the Brooks Beast which have been around for a long time. I also like New Balance. All of the 800 series are motion control shoes. The Asics Kayano is also good if you don't need a lot or room in the toe box. You may find some good graphite orthotics helpful too. You can find them at any running speciality store at www.roadrunnersports.com. Roadrunner Sports also has a lot of shoes and they tell you which ones are for overpronationators.
Here's my boyfriend's "two cents" on this subject. He says you may be able to correct your overpronation by changing the surfaces you run on. Run more on trails and grass than on pavement. Try running barefoot on grass. When we wear shoes, we change the natural motion of our feet, but when we run barefoot, we run correctly.

some good choices:
Puma Tenos 3 (moderate overpronator, low-normal arches)
Mizuno Waver Riders (good for everyone, i dont like em tho)
Puma Heras 3 (lightweight speed shoe, slight-mod overpronator, norm. arch)
I currently run in the Heras 3, i luv em, they are light, flexible, nicely cushioned, and give you the right amount of stability.
