best running shoes to wear with orthotics image
Ian W
My doctor told me that since I have custom orthotics that I no longer have to worry about buying motion control/stability type running shoes. Is this true? I hope so because these tend to be the ugliest running shoes out there.
Answer
Are they hard orthotics? I have hard orthotics and I was unable to run in them; my foot was impacting a hard surface (the orthotic), so I was not getting the cushioning the shoe offered.
If you have soft orthotics, then you in much better shape! The orthotics should provide the extra support you need.
However, the orthotics were likely made from static measurements, meaning you stood there and had a form made, or you walked on a pressure sensitive mat to determine your foot motion. This kind of measurement does not account completely for the high-speed, high-impact environment your feet encounter when running.
So you may not need the heavy-duty motion control shoes, but you may need some motion control, especially if you run fast or are heavy. Try the shoes, run in them in the store, see what feels right. If you go to a running shoe store, you should find some people who run and have experience fitting people with unique feet.

Types of shoes to wear with custom made orthotics?

I just got custom made orthotics, but only running shoes feel best. I want to wear flats that are in style or sneakers from DC brand. I'm not sure if it look good or will fit properly. Any brands of shoes that are very cute? Do Toms work or something?
Answer
Hiiiiii, how are you?
Well I have feet problems too and I have to wear orthodics too! I wear whatever shoe I want to but it would probably be best to wear something with a back that covers your heel. So NO FLIP-FLOPS sadly :( And I ALWAYS wear my Toms! Just put the orthodics in them and you're good to go! As long you don't walk everywhere barefooted, then I think it would be OK. And always remember to wear the orthodics when you wear shoes!
