Do you wear the hoka or beast with orthotics?

Personally I do yes

[@mkscott12]

My doc had me go to barefoot and made a huge difference, stop going more cushion, more support, does not work, like never doing exercise for any muscle will get weaker and weaker, barefoot lets your feet move properly. Wearing Hykes Flex and will never go back to regular restricted shoes.

We find a lot depends on the exact cause of heel pain! A great choice now is most brands of Brooks, new balance, mizuno are great choices overall! We like a low cost orthotic to test while walking an possibly eventually when running!

Try barefoot shoes. Look into barefoot running as well.

which insoles is good for flat feet?

[@englishgarden2036]

I overpronate and a have a foot injury. My podiatrist recommended Hoka shoes, but the two pairs I tried didn't work for me. I tried the Arahi 6, and I didn't get enough arch support. And I didn't like rocker in Gaviota. The best shoes I've found are Brooks and New Balance. I really wanted to like the Hoka. The colors are so beautiful.

Great video! Question about motion control shoes . . . I'm over 65 and I've been wearing a stability shoe, New Balance 993. But I want to try a Motion Control shoe (Brooks Addiction Walker). I tried a New Balance 928 motion control shoe in the past but after wearing it for 2 weeks I got significant lower back pain. I think I transitioned too fast. Really, I didn't transition, I just switched to them and wore them 8-10 hours a day for 2 weeks straight, then got the back and knee pain. I want to try a motion control shoe again because they really helped my feet, very supportive. Is there an adjustment period, or a way to transition to Motion Control shoes slowly that will not hurt my back and knees? Would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you.

My daughter is a high school varsity runner - diagnosed Nov 2019 with navicular stress fracture (MRI) and stress reactions suspected in 4 surrounding bones. She took 2 weeks off in a boot, then cross trained for another 6-8 weeks (bike and swim only) and started gradually running again in Feb. Short runs, easy effort, etc - building up VERY slowly. She continued to have on/off “tightness” in her navicular area and occasional sharp pain that would go away in 24 hours. She would take 1-2 days off and be fine. Start of this cross country season, she is having pain in her “N” spot and sees a very qualified sports physio (has all along as well, weekly) and he thinks it is her soleus causing issues, pulling on navicular. She still has pain in this area. Repeat MRI - i have heard/read that it can be confusing to interpret and go with clinical signs. What do we do? Rest? Boot again? Will she be able to run again? Don’t want to lose track season too - so not sure best way to proceed - will she be plagued with this forever? It’s been a year :(

26M good shape. My feet are very wide over the 5th mt base this is where I get pain every shoe I've tried, my feet are also swollen with high archs. Wide lasts will be too wide over my frontfoot. I'm preferably looking for a stability option, tried GT2000 Wide, Hoka Arahi Wide New Balance 880 and Brooks Beast (didn't like them). Is the Hoka Clifton with orthotics or Altra Provision 4 my best choices? (I ask because you sound very professional and I'm miles away from closest running store)

[@DrTomBiernacki]

It is really tough to say without fitting and evaluating. The single biggest thing you can do is try them all on and see which one fits best. I think that's always why people will struggle with online ordering alone.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

I say that from personal experience as well that its all about how the shor feels at a certain point

[@Gottix]

In the summer i walk (no running) alot on european cobblestones, uneven lanes and concrete surfaces (Prague). I have underpronation (not over) and flat feet (unusual combination). So i think my new shoes need to have adequate foot support with max cushioned insoles and durable outsoles with probably some ridges and grooves for excellent grip (protection against uneven cobblestones). Im getting very mixed messages on what shoes to get. I have a Bondi 7 but they heart on my left foot. Please help me!! Which shoe do you suggest!!

Calling 50 year old old? I know some 50 year olds that will run circles around most people half their age. What about people that has been running most of their lives? Surely the body adapts?

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Absolutely right, the goal is the average person in society for general advice. I want to be extremely clear that I am not talking to a single person with unique circumstances. Generally across society as people get older they have more joint pain and can benefit from support. As people have less joint pain and are very fit they are less likely to need support (on a general level excluding specific biomechanical problems).

Hi thx for this video I think it will help me a lot. For the past year and km2000 the only shoe I’ve been able to ware is the Altra Paradigm 6 I’m also still struggling with a Morten’s Neuroma injury and have had 3 injections already but my new orthotic inner soles are helping a lot so I hope I don’t have to have that operation which I’m scheduled for. My question as this is a slightly old video. Oh I’ve also got flat feet. Which Altra shoe would you recommend for me. I walk an asphalt a lot about 10 hits km30-50 per day. Do I stick to the Paradigm or do I try the Via Olympus and what about the Outroad or is that to hard. Also taking in its winter and I’m in Oslo Norway snow and ice. Although I’ve been warring my Altra’s since Feb but wasn’t wanking/running every day then as I’m now. Thx for your recommendation :)

@@dougsphoto I love the altra paradigm too for my flat feet and i've tried their provision 7 too but it just wasn't as supportive. I have the paradigm 4.5 and 6 and love both btw. I like the medial straps on the 6 that you can tighten with the laces, but they are removing these from the paradigm 7s btw so maybe stick to the 6 if you like them. I have recently bought the Topo Ultrafly 3, which has a similar footshape to altra and has arch support and a 5mm drop. These are probably on par with the Altras, so i recommend giving them a ago. The only things i care about are wide toe box/ foot shape and arch support so these are great for me. Topo ultrafly 4 is also out which is just a bit newer. The altra via olympus I have heard is a very stiff shoe.

Hoka is a good show I feel for many young healthy people it can give too much support. Inserts that focus on deep heel cup and not the height oft he arch are the key usually. Something to think about
