1) Educational Resources
ASICS provides easy-to-understand explanations about underpronation—what it is, how it affects movement, and how the right footwear can help.
Check out their Pronation Guide: What Pronation Is & Why It Matters for more details.
2) Technology & Innovation

Sole shape engineered to support natural foot movement
High-cushioning for extra shock absorption
Flexible midsoles to promote a natural stride
3) Product-Specific Guidance
The ASICS website and marketing materials clearly indicate which models are best suited for underpronators. This helps customers make the right shoe choice when shopping, reducing confusion and guesswork and enabling informed purchasing decisions
