Overpronation is normal and natual for you due to your biomechanics. You don't need a special shoe to 'correct' the issue because there is nothing to correct.
I appreciate that you're trying to help, but I respectfully disagree. Basically, I want to do *better* than what is "normal and natural" for me by improving my times!
One route to doing so (not the only, and probably not the most important) is to increase the efficiency of my running motion - my legs are all over the place, and sometimes even bang into each other (foot into opposing calf), so we're not talking about minor issues here where the question of what is most efficient becomes debatable.
And yes, I know that reducing the overpronation will not magically fix all this, but I view it as one piece of the puzzle (along with strengthening various muscles, improving flexibility, and doing form drills).
