How to Avoid Over Pronation & Build Stronger Feet!

Foot pronation is not a dirty word. In fact, it's essential and important for a springy, injury-free stride. But we do get in trouble when we over-pronate, which is what this video is all about.

I used to have this problem, and now I don’t. What did I do to strengthen my feet? Jump rope barefoot. That’s all I did and definitely made a difference in my running. No more ankles sprains that’s for sure.

When I walk, I overpronate, so my first running shoes were the stability/motion control kind. My feet would hurt, my tibial tendon would get sore, and I would feel like my feet were being forced to supinate way too much. Then I realized that when I run, I mid-foot strike, and don't overpronate. I switched to neutral shoes and everything felt great. The lesson learned? Make sure any shoe store analyzes how you run, not how you stand or walk.

This is so true! I have a bunion, and that ankle pronates. The first time I got fitted for running shoes, they put me in a stability shoe, that caused pain in my bunion, and angle. I went to a podiatrist, and they suggested orthotics, which I declined. I decided, after being miserably uncomfortable, to wear only minimalist shoes, and strengthen my feet, and angles. Since doing so for a few years now, I’m pain free, and running in Altra Escalantes. 🙌

This was right in time for me. I ran a marathon this past weekend and about mile 17 I noticed my feet overpronating and by the last three miles all I could do was walk it was hurting so bad. Thanks for the words of wisdom and I will definitely be checking out the app and videos to help and strengthen my feet.

Thank you so much man I was getting into walking and running and I was already getting demotivated because I do have overpronation

I work at a running shoe store, sorta new, n I’ve been trying to find good advice to give cus I’ve felt like stability shoes might not be the all the time option. A lot of what you said matches up w the advice I’ve gotten n found! Thanks a ton

Thank you coach Nate. This is the key.

Thank you for the advice! I overpronate, I have my entire life and it was brought on by genetics, I am not flat footed though. I joined the military about 5 years ago and started developing issues when I joined. I now have plantar faciitis all the time especially when I run and I dislocated my knee. I've been in and put of physical therapy, the doctor, and podiatrist for the past 3 years because of plantar faciitis and I've noticed that all the things I've been told to do by all of them made my symptoms worse. I stopped going and I'm on my own journey to healing my muscles because I want to be able to do the high impact workouts the military wants me to do and not get kicked out because I have to keep getting exempt on my run. Just wanted to briefly share my story, it's been a struggle the last few years and I'm tired of feeling hopeless because my feet, my knees, and ankles hurt. I've also watched a video about tibial rotation, something that my physical therapists never touched on and I think that has been helpful with my journey as well!

This is a great running video, so much knowledge, thank you.

Thanks for the video! I am currently looking to transitioning to more neutral shoes from what I consider the mother of stability shoes: the Gel-Kayano.
For me personally I think it was the only way to get into running as I have severely collapsed knees, something I will only be able to improve but never get rid of. I managed to improve my foot and ankle stability over time by simply using flat shoes for strength training (focussing on driving with the "tripod" foot stance, etc.), I noticed a major improvement. At the beginning I couldn't get through a session without at least one foot or calf cramp which I haven't had in ages now. I used an Ethletic shoe as they do have some arch support/foot bed type insole, which I think helped a lot as opposed to just going for Converse.

Thank you for sharing, 🦋 i always use to be under the impression, it was caused from a past foot injury. 🦋Not any longer ✌️

[arjayph]

hips strengthening and flexibility exercises can be done then test again if the gait improves.
the knee caving in is caused by weak hips and core.

[lesterwyborny]

Genetically pronating feet usually is associated with a condition called Morton's foot syndrome, in which the big toe is shorter than the next toe when the toes are flattened to the floor. .

Excellent content for functional exercises! Thanks TRE!

It's not a dirty word, and while you can strengthen your feet, it will not fix your OP for most. And some will get foot problems not wearing supportive foot wear in their house - PF being the major one. You mostly OP at the ankles btw.
