Walking Shoe Wear Pattern Photos Normal Foot X-Ray - After
initial ground contact, the foot is designed to roll inward to
disperse shock - Over-pronators roll in too much. This causes
excessive movement of the foot and lower leg. - Under-pronators
have feet that don't roll enough after ground contact. -
Definition: Excessive inward roll of the foot after landing. The
foot continues to roll when it should be pushing off. This
twists the foot, shin and knee and can cause pain in all those
areas. - Diagnosis: Excessive wear on the inner side of your
running shoes. Your shoes will tilt inward if you place them on
a flat surface. Knock knees or flat feet contribute to
overpronation. - Remedies: Wear shoes with straight or
semicurved lasts. Motion-control or stability shoes with firm,
multidensity midsoles and external control features that limit
pronation are best. Over-the-counter orthotics or arch supports
can help, too. Overpronation causes extra stress and tightness
to the muscles, so do a little extra stretch
