Pronation correcting shoes? (sh.itjust.works)

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’m not a physical therapist, but every time I’ve worked with one my issues have been due to some sort of imbalance in strength or flexibility, and less about not just using my body right. There are a load of exercises that address over pronation online, but I can’t speak to how well they work because I don’t have this issue myself.
