Designed For Neutral/Underpronation
Neutral
Foot Type: Normal-size arches.
Push-Off: You experience even distribution from the front of the foot.
Considered Injuries: Getting hurt is less likely due to effective shock absorption, but not impossible.
How Your Foot Contacts the Ground: Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body.
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.
