Using this system we assess: How your foot lands, including pressure points. Your level of pronation (neutral, degree of overpronation or supination) Some imbalances that might lead to discomfort or injury. This will allow us to recommend the most suitable shoes for your gait, improving both comfort and performance. Types of Pronation. Neutral A neutral pronator lands on the outer edge of the heel then rolls inwards to absorb impact. A neutral running gait is one of the most common types of pronation. Best type of shoe: Balanced cushioning. Overpronation Overpronation of the foot is another common variation. As the foot lands on the outside of the heel the ankle rolls inwards which can place strain on the body when running or walking. Best type of shoe: Supportive. The level and type of support may vary, so speaking with our running experts is key to finding the best shoe for your needs. Supination, also known as under pronation. This is the opposite of overpronation and less common. The foot strikes the ground on its outside of the heel but does not fully roll inwards enough to absorb the impact. Best type of shoe: Neutral with good cushioning, balance, and guidance. What to expect: Our gait analysis process.
