Your stride matters!

Do you get sore feet, ankles, or even pain up your legs? It is especially bad after walking or running or a day on your feet?

You may have underlying issues with your stride, or gait.

Whether your feet tend to roll outwards (underpronation), inwards (overpronation), or somewhere in between, your stride can have a big impact - on comfort, injury risk, and even how well your footwear works for you.

Understanding your pronation type can help you make good decisions about activity, footwear, and injury prevention.

The OutwardStride approach

OutwardStride focuses on information and tools to help you understand and manage your stride. The site is built around a three-part approach - Diagnosis | Footwear | Lifestyle Scenarios - with a Blog sharing case studies, experiences and ideas.

Where to start

  1. Diagnosis - provides an overview of pronation types. And there’s a simple Self-assessment to help you identify your pronation tendency.

  2. Footwear - explores features of shoes that work with your gait.

  3. Lifestyle scenarios - helps you apply your pronation pattern and footwear requirements to a range of everyday scenarios.

When all put together, these can help you make smarter decisions about:

  • sports and lifestyle choices

  • activity levels

  • footwear

  • pronation-related injury prevention.

1: Diagnosis

3: Lifestyle scenarios
