Beyond propulsion, a primary function is providing a stable, unyielding foundation. For individuals who overpronate or have flat feet, this is transformative. The carbon fiber plate offers torsional rigidity, preventing the foot from rolling inward excessively. This controlled guidance ensures proper alignment from the foot through the ankle and knee, promoting a healthier, more natural gait cycle. It’s particularly beneficial for those with plantar fasciitis, as the rigid support minimizes strain on the inflamed plantar fascia ligament by preventing overstretching, allowing for recovery even during activity. This is not a cushion that collapses; it’s an architectural element that provides lasting, intelligent support.
