How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

High arches
Push Off
The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
Considered Injuries
Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
How your foot contacts the ground
The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
