Q: What is overpronation?

Overpronation refers to the excessive inward rolling of the foot, making it difficult for your arch to absorb impact. This can cause your feet to flatten, consequently straining the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support your arches. In turn, you may become more prone to injuries to your feet and legs with overpronation.

Q: What causes overpronation?

People who have flat feet or fallen arches are more inclined to overpronating. Additionally, wearing unsupportive footwear – such as shoes without arch support, or shoes that don’t fit properly – can contribute to overpronation.

Q: How to correct overpronation?

Some treatment for overpronation can include physical therapy, icing, and using orthotics. Wearing supportive shoes and using supportive taping or bracing can also help.

Q: What is the difference between overpronation and supination?

Whereas overpronation is the excessive rolling of the foot inwards, supination – also known as underpronation – is when your foot rolls outward too much, thereby putting weight on the outer edges of your feet.

Q: What are the best insoles for overpronation?

Structured and semi-rigid orthotics work best if you need support when dealing with overpronation. You’ll want insoles like the ABEO 3D3 Total Support Orthotics, which offer strong arch support that boosts stability and provides proper alignment of the body to help reduce overpronating.
