Underpronation

Underpronation, also known as supination, occurs when your foot rolls outward slightly upon impact during walking or running, instead of distributing weight evenly or rolling inward. This movement causes less shock absorption and puts extra stress on the outer edge of the foot and ankle. People with underpronation often have high arches, which can lead to increased risk of injury or discomfort. Proper footwear with good cushioning and support tailored for supination can help improve gait, reduce strain, and prevent injury. If you suspect underpronation, a gait analysis can confirm the condition and guide appropriate solutions.
