Overpronation:
- Foot Type: Low arches or flat feet
- Push Off: Big toe and second toe do majority of the work.
- Considered Injuries: Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs.
- How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot
