Determining what kind of feet you have is the first step to finding the right running shoe. And one of the simplest ways to do that is with the wet test. All you have to do is lightly dampen the bottom of your feet with water and then stand on a clean sheet of paper. The shape of the wet footprint will clearly tell you what kind of arch you've got.
 
High-arched feet leave an imprint showing a narrow band connecting the forefoot and heel. A high-arched foot is also known as an under-pronated or supinator foot. A runner with supinator feet is more likely to experience shock transmission through the lower legs because the arch is overly rigid and impact is not dispersed properly. These runners should choose shoes from the Supinator to Neutral categories.
A normal arch leaves an imprint that has a flare but shows the forefoot and heel connected by a wide band. Runners with normal arches typically experience minimal biomechanical problems and should select from the Neutral to Over Pronator categories.
Flat feet have a low arch and leave nearly complete imprint. There is little inward curve where the arch should be as the arch is overly flexible and collapses inward. Flat-footed runners tend to have over-pronating feet, which generally result in poor natural shock absorption. These runners should pick shoes from the Over Pronator to Severe Over Pronator categories.
