Underpronation

• Foot Type - High arches
• Push Off - The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of 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.
