My son took a similar journey where he needed really supportive shoes (the heel area especially). We saw a podiatrist to get the correction to his inserts, to correct his stance, and they recommended Mizuno, Asics or New Balance, to get the support he needed. They said that you will be surprised at well known brands & what little support they offer.
Tip 1: Look for symbols or writing on the heel, forefront or under the shoe. They may not make sense so ask the one of the staff to tell you what it means. For example, asics SoLyte means that improved cushioning and durability.
There are some basic differences in shoes for running, walking, tennis or netball. Think of the way your foot moves when doing these activities. Running has pressure on the forefront, walking on the heel, and both usually have a straight, forward motion. Playing tennis or netball requires a lot of side movement, changing direction and good grip. Running and walking shoes will be more flexible, bending in the same place your foot bends, and will have a hardwearing outsole for uneven surfaces. When walking, the initial contact of the shoe is more central, so the heel strike zone needs to be larger. There is less forward momentum when walking so the shoe needs increased forefoot flexibility. Tennis and netball shoes will be firmer, heavier, and will have a flat, herringbone type outsole for good grip on flat surfaces.
Tip 2: Look at the outsole of the shoe. Look for grip patterns, flexibility breaks, and check the strength of the mid-sole. Does the shoe feel heavy? Mesh shoes are lighter and breath more.
What is pronation? An underpronator usually has a high arch and favours the outside of the feet when walking, or turning feet inwards. They may feel increased shock to the lower limb. An under pronator should avoid shoes with arch support as this may push the foot out even more. An over pronator rotates the foot when walking or running causing splayed feet. The knees may turn in and knock together when running. Most people pronate to some degree, and require footwear with good support as well as cushioning.
Tip 3: Look for support on the instep, inside and outside of the shoe. On asics this is called Duomax, is a darker colour, and is firmer, than the white EVA cushioning. Mizunos use a wave plate to provide support. Ask the staff to show you the support in the shoe.
Tip 4: Buy the shoe you want. Don’t avoid running shoes because you don’t run, they are very comfy for everyday wear. A trainer, sometimes called cross-trainer, can be used for walking, running, gym and is a good all round everyday fitness shoe.
Most of the time you will get what you pay for. Sports shoes range from $80-$260. The features kick in at about $100.You can get a very solid, supportive sports shoe for about $120-$150.
