Pronation

Designed For Neutral/Overpronation

Neutral

• Foot Type
  Normal size arches
• Push Off
  There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
• Considered Injuries
  Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
• How your foot contacts the ground
  The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Overpronation

• Foot Type
  Low arches or flat feet
• Push Off
  Big toe and second toe do majority of the work.
• Considered Injuries
  Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs.
• How your foot contacts the ground
  The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot.
