People who want to run many miles without injuries are attracted to cushioned shoes, as they seem to protect themselves more intuitively. More runners are getting into the ultra scene, the superstar running shoe, which is highly cushioned with a modest drop. The purpose of cushioned or neutral shoes is to meet the needs of those with a rigid foot that is high arched. In this case, the runner is referred to as a supinator since this type is common in running. Running shoes with cushioned midsoles typically feature a single-colored ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam material in the heel and arch of the shoe. As a synthetic material that can be shaped, the density of EVA can differ, which allows for different amounts of cushioning in a shoe depending on its density.

You should have a professional evaluate your foot in order to find out what type of runner you are. You can find out how your feet are shaped by what you see on your own, look at your footprint after being in the pool or taking a shower, and analyze your foot. Foot pronation is characterized by wide, flat footprints. When your footprint does not show the inside of your foot when the arch is not in contact with the ground, your foot is supinated.
