Pronation correcting shoes? (self.running)

What are people's thoughts on shoes made to fix pronation? I used to have a pair of new balances that were supposed to help with pronation, but now that I have a new pair of shoes, my pronation has gotten worse again.

Does pronation really matter in running or is it just one of those things that they use to sell more expensive shoes?

Do your feet and legs hurt if you don't use the correct shoes?

That's not always a tell. I managed to give myself a stress fracture without noticing because I was over pronating.

Nope, not at all. Is there some more long term effects to pronation or am I fine just going about how I normally do?
