Stabilizing footwear

Neutral footwear

Pronation is the natural way the foot moves to distribute the force of shock during running. For people whose foot moves too much inward, shoes with so-called stability have been designed. These models are characterized by comfortable support for the foot and should be the first choice of runners who are slightly heavier or value safety and comfort during running.
