Today’s Best Rated Running Shoes

Posted August 18th, 2009.

The first step to choosing a running shoe is to establish what category your foot falls under. There are three primary types of feet: the normal arch, the high arch and the flat arch. The second important factor to consider is pronation, or the action of the foot during movement as the body’s weight strikes at the heel and moves through to the toes. barcode scanners Runners with normal or neutral arches are generally normal pronators. Runners with high arches tend to be underpronators, which means the foot rolls outwards and distributes the body’s weight to the outside of the foot rather than absorbing it correctly. On the other hand, runners with flat arches are usually overpronators.
