Overpronation

Overpronation is the excessive inward rolling of the foot during the gait style, which inhibits the natural toe-off, thus exposing one to a host of injury problems, particularly in the knee. Overpronation causes all of the weight and shock of impact to be distributed mainly on one side of the foot rather than the entire foot. Shoes that help to correct overpronation are called motion control or stability shoes and feature a medial post or rollbar which is designed to provide enough stability to lessen the excessive outward rolling of the foot.
