Pronation is a natural movement of the human body that refers to the way your foot rolls inward to distribute impact when landing on the ground. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The GEL-FORTITUDE™ 8 (2E) was designed with Surpronation in mind.
Surpronation

Foot Type

Propulsion
The big toe and second toe do most of the work. -
Ground Impact Points
The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward too much (pronation), shifting the weight to the inside rather than the arch of the foot.
Product Features
- Dynamic Duomax A next generation support system through the midsole - carefully placed to correct your gait and prevent your foot from rolling inward too much, for a perfect stride. Much more comfort.
