Again, the outside of the heel makes initial contact with the ground. But the inward
movement of the foot occurs at less than fifteen percent (i.e., there is less rolling
in than for those with normal or flat feet). Consequently, forces of impact are concentrated
on a smaller area of the foot (the outside part), and are not distributed as efficiently.
In the push-off phase, most of the work is done by the smaller toes on the outside
of the foot.

Underpronator / Supinator / High arched foot
This print will leave a very thin band on the lateral side (outside of the foot)
or none at all, between the heel and forefoot. This is because most underpronators
are forefoot runners, only using the heel down hill. This curved, highly arched foot
does not pronate sufficiently and requires a lot of cushioning. Great cushioning
shoes include Asics Gel Nimbus, Saucony Grid Triumph or the Mizuno Wave Creation.
