Do arch supports prevent hyperpronation?
Yes and No! When standing still, you can shim the foot to any position. By using heel shims and arch supports you can position the foot in a less pronated position or even in a neutral or supinated position. So, when standing still, arch supports can prevent hyperpronation. Once you start walking, the arch supports do not prevent hyperpronation. Once the heel lifts off the ground, the rear and mid section of your shoes loose ground support.
