When you run, your feet absorb the impact of every stride through pronation. Pronation is a slight side-to-side rolling of the foot from the outside of your heel forward to the arch--which flattens slightly to provide additional absorption. The majority of runners are normal pronators. Underpronators usually have high arched feet. Overpronators often are flat-footed. Each type requires a specific shoe design to best suit the biomechanics of the foot.
