What do you think of the ABUs?

Pronation is the inward (medial) roll of the foot and in particular the heel and arch which occurs naturally at the heel strike as a cushioning mechanism.
Overpronation is when the feet roll inward too much.


I wear some flat insoles with my orthodics on top of them in my boots. Boots are boots, but this makes them a little better.


I think the situation with the ABUs is ignorant. For one, they didn't have enough of them to bring them out. Currently I need pants and a hat. I don't know how long it will take to get them. As far as the design goes, I don't like what they came up with. They are basically our current uniform, with a different color and a arm and leg pocket. They are freaking out already about people ironing them and sewing the pockets down.
