A bit more info on ... Shoes for neutral runners or underpronators
- You'll need a cushioned shoe if you're a neutral runner or an underpronator.
- Only 30% of runners fall into this category.
- If you're a neutral runner, you'll have an efficient running gait and you're likely to have a normal arch.
- If you're an underpronator, your foot doesn't pronate (roll inwards) enough during the gait cycle. You're likely to have a high, rigid arch.
- Both of these types require a cushioned shoe which won't hinder the natural pronation of the foot.
