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?

I don't think it's necessarily a problem. Some famous runners had long careers despite pronating. Whenever I tried to fix it I created other problems. Most books I read recently recommend not focussing on the feet but on the hips through strengthening and stretching.
