Designed For Neutral / Underpronation Neutral Pronation 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. Underpronation Foot Type High arches Push Off The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot. Considered Injuries Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain. How your foot contacts the ground The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
