Hi guys

Get my ortho's on monday. I currently run in brooks trance which although comfortable i have always found bulky.

Pod said a good durable neutral shoe will be fine because the ortho's will take the place of all the other crap lol. My words not his.

Anyway what do most epople find works best

I was advised to go with a mildly supportive shoe, not a neutral with my orthotics. He still wanted the shoe to provide some support to assist.
Adrenaline's and 2140s were recommended but was told for example that Kayanos were too supportive. I ended up with 2140s because I found the Adrenaline to not have any support from the ball transitioning to the toe which is where my tendonitis is.

Note that my foot is getting better but still has not fully resolved so it could be that I need more or less support and adjustments will need to be made.
I'd recommend sticking with your pod's advice, they are the experts in your feet because they're seeing you.

Good luck!

It could be best staypuff if you waited for the orthotics first then go to a reputable running shoe store with the orthotics & try on a few different brands/models of 'neutral' running shoes with the orthotics inside before you make your decision. The decision should really be yours based on how they function & feel with your orthotics & foot in them.

I usually recommend a category (i.e. 'neutral', 'guidance' etc.) of running shoe for the patient to focus on, but rarely recommend a particular brand/model unless the patient has been very happy with a particular brand i.e. Brooks. A 'neutral' Brooks shoe by the way would be a Glycerin or Ghost for example.

Some brands/models just don't fit some foot types/shapes as well as other brands/models do in the same category (i.e. 'neutral'), hence why it's an individual's choice.

All the best.

thanks Ben yup thats what he said to do. Just go and try on a few types and find what seems most comfortable.

Im heading over to Active feet on tuesday with teh orthos my current shoes etc.

I run in brooks normally so wll probabaly stick with them
