Question 12 • Lifetime Fitness (semester) EL2083

Discuss the variations in foot shape and the type of shoes that are required for each foot shape.

Answer

Answer:

People with flatter feet often overpronate, so they may benefit from stability or motion-control shoes that provide support. People with neutral arches generally do well in neutral, cushioned shoes. People with high arches often underpronate and may benefit from cushioned, flexible shoes that absorb impact. A proper fit and individual comfort are important, and a specialist can help determine the right shoe.
