Understand your stride to help find the right footwear.

Concerned you may have pronation issues? Do your feet tend to roll either inwards (overpronation) or ourwards (underpronation or supination)?

Your footwear choices can make a big difference. This site tries to help you find, evaluate and select ‘fit for purpose’ footwear - regardless of shoe brand, retailer or budget.


Explore scenarios which connect your stride with shoes that meet the different demands of life.

Shoe descriptions do not always explain which models suit different pronation types. OutwardStride explores how to look beyond specific brands, retailer and budget to find the right footwear.

Running shoes as a starting point

Learn how running shoes designed for your pronation type can help you recognize and experience the footwear features that are important to you.

Indoor slip-on footwear

Golf shoes

Find the right golf shoes for your pronation type - when all the product information is about performance (stance, rotation, grip, and fatigue).

Casual shoes

Use practical checks to evaluate features in casual shoes that matter for your pronation type.
