What are Underpronation shoes?

Underpronation shoes are designed to encourage the foot and ankle to rotate inward when the foot hits the ground. Such shoes also are referred to as cushioning shoes, because they contain a large amount of soft material to absorb as much impact as possible.

Is Underpronation same as supination?

Supination of the foot occurs when your weight rolls onto the outer edges of your feet. Another name for supination is underpronation. In a normal stride, your foot should roll inward a bit (pronate) so that your weight is on the ball of your foot. Then you push off the big toe.

What type of shoes should Pronators wear?

Underpronators, for example, need a cushioned running shoe with lots of flexible midsole, outside, and heel support to balance the foot rolling outward. Whereas overpronators should look for a shoe with maximum stability, firm midsole, and more structured cushioning under the heel.

Underpronation, or supination happens when the ankle doesn’t roll inward very far (less than 15 percent) when landing or pushing off, causing the foot to roll outward and putting pressure on the ankle and toes. Left unmanaged, supination can lead to severe pain, injury, and damage to the tissues in the feet.

Does Underpronation cause knee pain?
