What is Overpronation and Why It Matters
Overpronation happens when your foot rolls too far inward while walking or running. It’s often linked to flat feet, fallen arches, or poor ankle control. Left unmanaged, it can lead to:
-
Heel and arch pain
-
Ankle and knee instability
-
Shin splints and fatigue
-
Long-term joint misalignment
Orthopaedic shoes are specifically designed to correct this inward rolling motion, keeping your feet stable and aligned.
Key Features to Look for in Overpronation Shoes
✅ 1. Firm Arch Support
A strong, structured arch helps keep your foot in a neutral position, reducing strain and overcompensation.
✅ 2. Stabilising Heel Counter
A reinforced heel area prevents your foot from collapsing inward, offering control and alignment with every step.
✅ 3. Motion-Control Soles
Orthopaedic soles with rocker designs promote a smoother gait while minimising unnecessary inward motion.
✅ 4. Adjustable Fit
Overpronation often comes with flat feet or swelling. Velcro closures and extra-depth designs help accommodate custom orthotics or foot changes.
✅ 5. Shock Absorption
Shoes that absorb impact protect your joints from the extra stress that misaligned steps create.
