Best motion control shoes with lots of cushion
Quote | Reply
I'm looking for a shoe with lots of cushion like the Hoka's but also has motion control. Suggestions?

Check out any of the Asics motion control (stability) shoes. Decent cushioning, good arch support (which is really where the stability happens), and good pricing. I use the Gel Cumulus 16 model, which is more of a hybrid between neutral and motion control.

Not sure you can get exactly what you are asking for. Hoka's are really cushioned, but motion control requires some arch stiffness.
I have had great luck with the Brooks Ravenna and the Asics GT 2000's. Decent cushion and great control.
Cumulus has great cushion, but is a neutral shoe.

Asics Kayano (latest version only)

"Rides" very soft, but plenty of "motion control" with a midfoot bridge and medial posting.

The Pearl Izumi H3 road has a 30mm stack height and is a stability shoe.

I've never tried the H3, but I really like the N3, which is a similar shoe without the stability features.

There are also some Hoka shoes that they categorize as stability shoes on their website.

Whatever the women's model of the Brooks Beast is the shoe you want. The Beast is a great shoe by any measure.

I would suggest trying on a pair of the New Balance 1260v5.
