Specs

Pronation

Designed For?Underpronation/Neutral

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.

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.
