MD Podiatrist Discusses Walking Shoes for Pronated Feet

 
If you have pronated feet, “Walking shoes should have rigid outsoles which prevent the shoes from bending or flexing,” says Daniel Michaels, DPM, with the Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Institute, LLC. “This allows your shoes to hold your feet in a mostly neutral position without allowing them to overpronate.”
 
Whether you have high arches or low arches, it’s worth investing in custom orthotics, Dr. Michaelssays. These “support your arches regardless of the foot structure [and] can be inserted into most shoes and sneakers to stabilize your foot and ankle joints and prevent future pathology.”
