How to Correct Underpronation
- 1). Determine how you pronate: normally, too much or not enough. The easiest way is to look at a pair of your used shoes placed on a flat suface. The illustration here will help you understand your specific pronation.
- 2). Visit a podiatrist and ask about orthotic inserts, also known as implements. These are devices you wear in your shoes on every day. They are a simple way to correct the condition and help with possible discomfort.
- 3). If you run, buy the kind of running shoes that help with underpronation. The shoes should offer you flexibility and cushioning. The right shoe will allow your feet to roll enough inward and protect you from unnecessary stress.
- 4). When exercising, warm up and cool down properly to counter possible injury and undue stress on your feet. Even if you have supportive running shoes, you need to warm up your feet and legs before your workout to offer enough flexibility to handle the impact during continuous motion, then stretch properly afterward.
