Help! My feet supinate too much! (that means instead of rolling in and putting pressure on the arch, they roll out and put pressure on the outer foot and metatarsals!) I have a very high arch. I researched shoes thoroughly and determined through a mix of online reviews %26amp; wearing different sneakers around the house that the Asics Gen Nimbus VIII was the best. Now, after only a few weeks, the pain in the outside of my foot is as bad as ever. Does anyone know how to improve this? Also what insoles, etc would be good? Please help. Thanks!
How does one increase pronation (in other words, stop supination) of the foot when walking/running?
You are correct that the Nimbus is a very good pair of shoes for runners with high arches. Often, wearing these shoes are enough, but that is not always the case, as you obviously found out. To supplement the shoes, you can wear insoles that support your arches. Superfeet is a great producer of insoles, and many of my running buddies have had great success with them. You can find them at your local specialty running shoe store or at their website (see link below). The ones you need are the green ones.
If the regular insoles are still insufficient, then the next course of action is to contact a specialist who will prescribe a pair custom orthotics, which are specially made to support your arches. These can be quite expensive, but I don't think I have ever heard of anyone who needed further help.
Good luck~!
Reply:hope this helps...try yoga. it helps with balance. my pinkie toes always turned in but after weeks of yoga practice my feet and toes straightened out and my arches grew very strong. it definitely helped in other areas as well.
