Your stride matters!

Most of us don’t think about how we walk or run — until something starts to hurt. It might be sore feet, aching knees, or just a sense that your body feels “off.”

Whether you’re an everyday walker, a runner, returning from injury, or noticing changes with age, the issue could be your stride — specifically, how your foot moves through each step. This natural movement is called pronation.

And here’s the key: your pronation type — whether it’s underpronation (also known as supination), overpronation, or neutral pronation — affects everything from joint alignment to what shoes work best for you.

The problem with finding the right support

When we seek help, it often comes in fragments. One person suggests orthotics. Another recommends shoes. A physio gives exercises. But none of it seems connected — so it may feel hard to know what to do and why.

How OutwardStride helps

The aim of OutwardStride is to help you find the best shoes to wear, which suit your pronation type and lifestyle. It’s a ‘joined-up’ approach to help you can make smart choices by knowing:

• What’s going on with your stride? What’s your pronation type?

• What lifestyle habits might be helping or harming your stride?

• What are the best shoes you can select to support your stride and foot health?
