Amato-
You are not an over-pronator, instead you are a supinator: your foot rolls (or places increased pressure) on the outside of your foot as opposed to over pronation, where (as Doc said) the foot rolls inwards.

In either case, over- or under- pronation (supination) will hurt not only your foot but also your knees, hips, and eventually back if not dealt with.

The best solution (this coming from a sports doctor) are orthotic inlays with good cushioning, and running shoes / boots with strong ankle/arch support.

The only reason I am commenting here is because I have suffered from over-pronation for most of my life; and my father suffers from supination (under pronation). As such, we have been in contact with numerous sports doctors, podiatrists etc.
