How Can I Determine My Foot Pattern? [Foot Tips]

The majority of people have a normal foot pattern. The overpronation foot pattern is more common than the excessive supination pattern. Use the following tests to determine your foot pattern and to help you select the proper shoes.

Method I: Examine the wear pattern on the outsoles of an old pair of your shoes.
Normal Pattern: A wear pattern from the outside edge of the heel of the outsole toward the center of the outsole at the forefoot indicates a normal pattern.

Overpronation: Excessive wear on the inside edge of the outsole of the shoe indicates overpronation or "flat feet."

Supination: Excessive wear on the outside edge of the outsole indicates underpronation or the supinator pattern.

Method II: Get' your foot wet, and with your entire weight. step on a brown grocery bag or some other surface where you can see your foot print.
