What causes a foot to PRONATE?
Flat feet
A foot with a very low or non-existent arch will overpronate. Maybe your flat feet are due to an underdeveloped arch from childhood or maybe your arch collapsed over the years as you aged.
Overuse
Yes, being too active can put a strain on the arch, muscles, tendons and ligaments in the foot.
Genes
You could be one of the unlucky ones and just happen to be born with a foot with an arch that doesn’t fully develop and a foot that overpronates. You can also be born with a hypermobile foot which causes loose joints and overpronation.
Bad shoes
Shoes that are designed mostly for fashion tend to be lacking in support, cushioning and features that promote good foot mechanics. High heels, narrow, flimsy, and thin sole shoes without an orthotic insole or supportive footbed will damage the plantar fascia over time leading to many other injuries and problems.

“I’m recovering from a pretty severe case of posterior tibial tendinitis…I was beginning to feel like I’d be wearing supportive full coverage walking shoes forever to avoid surgery. But the arch & pronation control in these sandals are keeping my foot in its proper position. I’m not in pain & I’m wearing sandals again! ”
