Structured Cushioning

Running shoes within the structured cushioning group are designed for runners that pronate a little more than normal and customarily possess a normal mid-foot ( arch ). Their foot strike comes about in a neutral to a bit pronated position, using the body’s natural collapse to attenuate shock. Structured cushioned runners need their running shoes to help control a small amount of overpronation, but they don’t need all the distress from shock attenuation attributes of a cushion part shoe.

Runners having normal arches typically experience small biomechanical problems and should pick those shoes from the cushioning category or these shoes that meet the needs with the neutral to over pronating runners.

Cushioned

Cushioning segment was designed to meet the needs of underpronators to slight overpronators who tend to have a high mid-foot (arch). This type of runner needs a good deal of shock attenuation because they don’t absorb distress or shock naturally through pronation. His or her foot either does not pronate in any respect, or pronates such a small amount that their body can’t attenuate shock in its normal manner.


Instead of the body’s connective tissue soaking up shock through pronation, your bones and joints take the impact of the shock. It’s vital choosing shoes in the cushioning portion that attenuate as much initial impact distress and shock as possible. An additional note: runners and athletes wearing cushioning shoes are inclined to have a rigid forefoot, hence requiring that the shoe become very flexible there.

A new high-arched foot is also known as an under-pronated foot. A runner with under-pronating feet is a bit more likely to experience shock transmitting through the lower legs, and should pick shoes from the cushioning classification or those shoes that will meet the needs of under-pronating to neutral runners.

Maximum Support

The maximum support classification is perfect for runners who have a tendency to land with an overtly pronated placement which has a level foot. Like the cushion category, these runners are not making use of all their body’s natural shock attenuation elements. What makes them different is these runners exhibit a substantial degree of pronation beginning with landing in a pronated state, then moving on past normal. Similar to the structured cushion segment, these joggers and runners need help to control the degree involving pronation.


Flat-footed runners tend to have over-pronating toes, which generally result in inadequate natural shock absorption. These joggers and runners should pick shoes from maximum support category as well as those shoes that meet the requirements of over pronating to severe pronating runners.
