What is the ideal shoe?

One of the most common questions I am asked is "what shoes do you recommend".  Well, here's a whistle-stop tour...
- Felicity

Beige Shoes

As a rule of thumb, I do not recommend Skechers*.

Wolky

FitFlop

​

​

Chacos

Bunions

Footwear is key; wearing footwear for function is important so as to not overload the big toe joint. 

With this in mind, the best shoe for walking any distance in is one with a slight rocker sole.

These are incorporated into most running trainers now, such as Hoka, Asics, New Balance, True Motion, Altra

Barefoot footwear is zero drop and does not incorporate a rocker sole. 
 

ShoeMed  is a good online shop, and they also have high street stores. You can have an online consultation to determine the best shoe for you.

Barefoot Shoes
Barefoot shoes are not for everyone, and you need to train your feet to be strong enough to wear them. 
I have written a short blog about this here.

Adidas Gazelle's are also a podiatric nightmare.

Just because your shoes cost a lot of money doesn't automatically mean they are a good shoe.

Please bring a selection of your most often worn footwear to your Initial Appointment for a thorough appraisal.
