Arch Types
Normal ( Medium) Arch
A Normal Arch will leave an imprint of the heel and the forefoot connected by the wide band.After the heel strike ,this foot type will pronate or roll inward slightly to absorb shock.This is the most common foot type.Shoes best suited for this foot style is the stability shoe.
Flat (Low) Arch
 A Flat Arch will leave an imprint of almost the entire bottom of the foot.This foot type is usually an indication of the excessive inward roll of teh foot after a heel strike commonly referred to as overpronation.The arch collapses too much which may cause overuse injuries. This foot type is best suited for stability and Motion Control Shoes.
High Arch
 This type of foot does not overpronate at all,so its not an effective shock absorber. This is the least common foot type.Lack of pronation is generally called supination or under-pronation. The shoe type best suited for this foot type is a Cushioning shoe.
