Insoles/supports for Supinators?

View Full Version : Insoles/supports for Supinators?




Doctor Arcane
  
I'm looking for insoles or supports to help with supination. I actually have a pair of Brooks
that are pretty good, I want something for work/exercise outside of running that could fit in a
boot or sneaker.

I figured someone here might have some ideas, since there is no sci.med.podiatry. Most of the
insoles seem targeted at pronators. I'm wary of this sort of thing, since my first pair of running
shoes (before I knew about supination) had anti-pronation motion control..and caused me a bit of
knee trouble before I figured out what was up.

Thanks,

arcane

ps please dont respond via email, that account no longer works.. please just follow up.. sorry if
this is slightly OT, but who knows feet better than runners?

I supinated badly until I started wearing Brooks' road-racing shoes for everyday training. They
cured the problem completely.

Look for the DownUnder brand of orthotics. Very deep heel cup with slight arch support and work well
for supinators.
