Better for you, better for the environment.

Designed For Neutral / Underpronation

Neutral Pronation

Foot Type - Normal size arches

Push Off - There is even distribution from the front of the foot.

How your foot contacts the ground - The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Underpronation

Foot Type - High arches

Push Off - The pressure is on the smaller toes on the outside of the foot.

How your foot contacts the ground - The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
