Toe Area (Front of Shoe):

• Indicates frequent lunging and forward movements.
• Overuse can strain Achilles tendon, calf muscles, and forefoot flexors.
• Strengthen calf muscles (gastrocnemius, soleus), tibialis anterior, and toe flexors.

Heel Wear:

• Suggests heavy heel striking, leading to poor shock absorption.
• Can cause stress on knees, hips, and lower back.
• Strengthen glutes, hamstrings, and core for better control and balance.

Inside Edge (Medial Wear):

• Signals overpronation (foot rolling inward).
• Can overuse ankle stabilizers, knees, and hips.
• Strengthen posterior tibialis, gluteus medius, and hip abductors.

Outside Edge (Lateral Wear):

• Indicates supination (foot rolling outward), reducing shock absorption.
• Increases risk of ankle sprains and lateral knee strain.
• Strengthen peroneal muscles, lateral hip stabilizers, and quadriceps.

Even Wear Across the Sole:

• Reflects balanced movement, proper biomechanics, and good muscle engagement.
• Maintain strength in foot arch, ankle stabilizers, and core muscles for continued alignment.
