Neutral

• How your foot contacts the ground - The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

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.

Designed with the environment in mind
We’ve made the shoe’s upper with recycled plastic, and we’ve used less water and reduced our carbon emissions while producing the shoe’s sock liner. Better for you, better for the environment.
