Your stride matters!

Does it hurt when you walk or run? Maybe it’s sore feet, aching knees, or even a sense that your body feels “off”?

Whether you’re a walker, a runner, returning from injury, or noticing changes with age, the issue could be your stride or gait.

Understanding how you move — your gait or stride — can influence your day-to-day life. Whether your feet tend to roll outwards (underpronate), inwards (overpronate), or fall somewhere in between, your stride can influence comfort, injury risk, and even how well your footwear works for you.

When you understand your stride you’re better able to:

• make proactive choices about the activities you do and the footwear you rely on

• track changes over time. For example, due to age, activities, injury, or different surfaces.

About OutwardStride

The purpose of this site is to provide information in three areas.

1. Identifying your pronation type - a diagnosis. Insight can come from multiple sources — from simple self-checks through to expert assessments — layered together to build a clearer picture of how you move, where issues may lie, and what to do next

2. Reviewing what lifestyle habits that may be helping or hindering your pronation type, and identifying changes you can make.

3. Selecting footwear suited to your pronation type and purpose - for example, sports shoes and casual shoes.
