Neutral

The soles of your running shoes show wear in an S-shaped pattern, from the outer (lateral) heel to the big toe.

If you put your shoes on a flat surface, you would not notice any tilt and the wear in your old pair will be central.

NEUTRAL RUNNING SHOES

Specialized neutral running shoes offer cushioning and support when most suitable.

Neutral cushioned shoes promote natural foot motion

Beginners may want to start with a cushioning shoe for support as they build muscle strength.

Overpronation

Extra wear will be seen on the inside of the heel and under the ball of the foot, especially the big toe in your old pair.

If you put your shoes on a flat surface, you may notice an inward tilt of the ankle.

STABILITY RUNNING SHOES

Overpronators need support, structured cushioning, and stability.

Stability running shoes help distribute the impact of running more effectively to minimise pronation

A firm midsole provides arch support for flatter feet, this support is called a medial post.
