Supination occurs when the outside of the heel hits the ground first, but the foot does not roll inward, and all of the body weight rests of the outside of the foot. This walking action makes the small toes responsible for pushing of the ground to complete the step. This type of gait can lead to ankle sprains, due to the weakening of the muscles around the ankle from supinating. The best type of shoe to address this issue is a flexible shoe with evenly distributed cushioning.
