What is a Neutral Shoe?

A Neutral Shoe represents the majority of running shoes on the market. It is designed for runners whose feet follow a "neutral" gait cycle (rolling inward slightly to absorb shock) or those who supinate (roll outward).

Characteristics

• Focus on Cushioning: Without the need for stiff corrective posts, all the weight and engineering go into maximizing shock absorption.
• Uniform Midsole: The foam density is usually consistent across the sole.
• Flexibility: Often more flexible than stability or motion control shoes.

Who Needs Them?

• Runners with high arches.
• Runners with biomechanically efficient gaits.
• Supinators (under-pronators).

If you check the wear pattern on your old shoes and it's mostly in the center or slightly on the outside edge, a neutral shoe is likely your best bet.
