Most people have either a low, normal or high arch. Low and normal arches are the most common foot types, and understanding your arch can help you choose the right insoles for your activity.

A simple way to check your arch type at home is the wet foot test. Wet your feet and stand on a flat surface where your footprint is visible, such as paper or newspaper. A fuller footprint usually indicates a low arch, while a narrower imprint often suggests a higher arch.

Ortho Movement Upgrade Insoles are activity-based insoles designed to support different arch types as effectively as possible. The insoles feature a unique medial and longitudinal arch support construction that helps provide stability, comfort and support during movement.

Combined with a semi-hard E.V.A material, the Upgrade range offers a dynamic function that adapts to the foot during activity. This makes the insoles suitable for people looking for supportive, comfortable and performance-oriented insoles for everyday movement, training and sports.

It starts with how our bodies are build and in the most cases that’s genetic. Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. About 60% of the population pronates more than they need to in order to function properly. People that pronate are most likely to have a flat foot/low arch. 

Some pronation, also called eversion, is natural in the body’s regular movement. Neutral pronation occurs when the foot experiences a healthy amount of pronation. In a healthy movement all toes are part of the foot leaving the ground movement and the weights is distributed fairly. This is what we refer Ortho Movement to, having an aligned movement that straighten up the body from the feet and knees up to the back. Whereas every movement with a misalignment will pressure the body in a less healthier way.

Overpronation occurs when the foot impacts the ground and there is not enough of an outward movement in the foots motion. This results in a miss balance of the weight on the toes so the big toe and second toe take the entire push. Additionally, this results in an unnatural angle forms between the foot and the ankle resulting in pain in joints, knees and back.ding element. 

Supination is the opposite to Overpronation and occurs when the foot impacts the ground and there is not enough of an inward movement in the foots motion. This results in a miss balance of the weight on the toes resulting in pain in joints, knees and back. People that supinate are most likely to have a high arch.
