Over Pronation and Supination are two terms that relate to the way your feet roll in (pronation) or out (supination) as you walk. The rolling action is important as it helps your feet and legs disperse the shock of striking the ground while you walk. The issue is when the roll is too extreme, it can put stress on the body in other ways.

What can you do?

  • A stable (not too squishy) contoured footbed such as Maseur can help control the roll.
  • If you experience pain when you walk consult a medical professional.
