Insoles for overpronation

Why buy insoles for correcting over pronation?

Excessive pronation is one of the most common causes of foot pain and injury. Pronation is a fundamental part of the gait cycle that is needed to help to shift your weight across your foot and propel you forward. Pronation is also very important for absorbing shock when you walk and is integral to your posture. If there are issues or imbalances in you pronation this can can cause problems to arise in not just your feet but also in your legs, knees, hips and back.

The most prevalent form of excessive pronation is over-pronation which is when your foot rolls forward too much as you walk. Over pronation can cause an unnatural level of stress and strain on the the foot and inhibits the foots capacity to support itself properly. Due to this if you overpronate your feet when walking you are more prone to foot injuries such as plantar fasciitis and heel spurs which can cause foot and heel pain. If left untreated these injuries can become chronic. It is advised to seek medical attention from a foot specialist if you are unsure of treatment.
