How to Correct Suppination

Are the first signs of wear that you see on your shoes on the outside area? If this is the case, you probably suppinate when you run or walk. This means that your foot rolls outward, and that the arches in your feet are probably high. Follow these steps if you want to correct suppination.

Instructions

• 1

  Purchase a flexible shoe that has a soft midsole. This will help to prevent suppination.

• 2

  Wear low heels. High heeled-shoes aren't good for anyone, and they can put excessive strain on the joints of a person with high arches.

• 3

  Don't squeeze your feet into shoes that are too small. Make sure there is a space between your longest toe and the end of the show that is about the size of your thumbnail.

• 4

  Buy shoes with arch support. People with high arches need this support.

• 5

  Go to a shoe store or running store to purchase your shoes. Being professionally fitted will help you to avoid the problems associated with suppination and high arches. If you find a pair of shoes that you like, you can buy another pair on the Internet or at a discount chain.

• 6

  See a podiatrist if you experience foot pain. Some people with high arches who suppinate will benefit from orthotics or other forms of foot support.
