Supination vs. Pronation
Question:
I was told at the local running store that I am a slight pronator, with little arch. I was fitted with Saucony Grid 3D Hurricanes, and also later bought the Asics Gel Kayanos. I have noticed that I excessively wear down the upper "outside" of my shoes, by the little toes. Would this indicate supination instead of pronation? I do not notice any wear on either side of my heels. Christi

No, that’s the area that would wear down with pronation, I believe. It sounds like you were properly fitted. — Eldo Lightfoot — Personal Trainer COOLEX — ActiveWear for Active People http://www.coolexstore.com
