Best Shoes for Supination & Underpronation

FAQs

• How do I know if my feet are supinating?

  Though your doctor or podiatrist can give you an official diagnosis through a gait analysis, you can perform a couple simple at-home checks to start.

  First, look at already worn-in shoes. Footwear that has excessive wear on the outer edge of the sole, but less on the inside, can be a symptom of supination.

  Second, get your bare foot wet and step on a dry piece of paper—preferably one that can absorb a bit of water. Your foot likely supinates if you see only a thin line at the outer edge of your foot, or little to no imprint of the middle of your foot.

• How do I know which shoe to buy for supination or under pronation?

• Why is supination/under pronation a problem?

  The body is a complex interlinked system that starts at the feet. When your ankle rolls outward you put stress on vulnerable parts of your feet and ankles. This can also have far more far-reaching adverse affects. If the mechanics of your feet are a little bit off, it can throw off the alignment of your entire body. 

  Excessive supination can cause ankle pain, plantar fasciitis and stress higher up the body. This can lead to knee pain, hip pain and even back pain. The negative effects of supination can be particularly severe for runners who put their lower limbs through repetitive strain.
