If the width of the instep (AB) at its widest part is less than 1cm, the foot is considered as flat (right) and a shoe with
Supportive Cushioning or
Motion Control is recommended. If the width of the footprint at its narrowest part (BC) is less than 1cm, the arch is considered high (center) and a shoe with
Neutral Cushioning is recommended. All other footprints are considered "normal" (left) and are best complimented by shoes with
Neutral Cushioning.
A "neutral shoe"or one described only as a cushioning shoe means that it is made for
someone with a neutral walking or running gait or someone who supinates
(someone who rolls their foot outward). If the wear on your sneakers
looks even on both the inside and outside heel, you are probably a
neutral runner.
