My PT says my left foot pronates about 6 degees and the right is fairly neutral. SHould I wear pronation control shoes or neutral assuming I can't mix and match.

- also there is no "6 degrees" of pronation since this is a triplanar motion in closed kinetic chain (weight bearing) involving 3 main joint group of: eversion, dorsiflexion and abduction. Also, we all NEED to "pronate" some, but most of this motion occurs at the subtalar joint and happens in many in sort of a "cog" effect with a little, then a little more, then all the way. The RATE of this motion (pronation) is actually more important than "how much" (which I'd love to know how he/she measured)

Sure!
Get neutral shoes (or performance trainers)
Measuring 6 degrees pronation is B.S. and not possible
