Underpronation, also known as supination, is a condition where the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. The push-off experience is pressure on the outer toes, and this can lead to injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with this foot type typically have high arches.

In contrast, a NEUTRAL FOOT TYPE is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. The push-off experience is an even distribution from the front of the foot, and getting hurt is less likely due to the effective shock absorption, though not impossible. Individuals with this foot type typically have normal-size arches.

Finally, OVERPRONATION is a condition where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. The push-off experience is pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe, which can lead to injuries such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with this foot type typically have low arches or flat feet.
