While normal pronation, or turning inward, is needed as the foot adapts to the ground, over-pronation causes the arch to flatten and soft tissue to stretch, leading to joint surfaces functioning at unnatural angles. It is one of the most common causes of foot and leg discomfort, leading to such symptoms as heel and knee pain, achilles tendonitis, flat feet and shin splints.

This is exacerbated by activities where there is excessive rotation or sustained shock impact, such as golf and tennis swings, distance running and hiking, cross country, cricket and football, even yomping.

Developed with technical input from in-house biomechanics experts and Sorbothane's brand ambassador, international cricketer Matthew Hoggard, new Sorbo-Pro Total Control addresses the problem of over-pronation with carefully crafted insole geometry.

This features a heel cup and stabilising arch that together cradle the foot and reduce exercise pronation, while Sorbothane shock absorbing pads in the heel and forefoot give unrivalled impact protection and positive energy return.

The antibacterial top sheet employs the latest nano-silver technology to inhibit bacteria and minimise perspiration.
