20 Best Women’S Sneakers For Overpronation (2023 Updated)

I have to stay on my feet a lot. Over the years, I’ve developed plantar fasciitis, fallen arches and varicose veins. My legs stayed tired and I’d experience rolling body pains. I never paid a lot for shoes or treated myself to comfort because I figured I’d “save money now and pay for something decent later”.

40+ years later, my body was in agony. I researched a good shoe for my conditions and found New Balance to be a solid recommendation. 4 days later I tried them on, forgot that I was wearing them and washed dishes.

I was so relieved that my pain had went from an 8 out of 10 to a zero (in 20 mins)! Then I got super angry at myself because I could have relief years ago, but always put my own needs on the back burner.

I’m not trying to sell anyone a shoe. I just recommend that if you are experiencing discomfort or random pains, find the shoe that aids in your personal issues of discomfort. Self-care is foreign to many caretakers and behind-the-scenes leaders.

It doesn’t have to stay that way and is well worth the investment.

I have worn the 1540 for many years. They fit perfectly and are comfortable from the beginning. They usually last me many months and miles of walking. However, after 6-8 weeks of wear the 1540v3 developed a hole in the top of the shoe fabric where the big toe rest.

Since I have never had this problem with any of the previous shoes. I compared it to my old pair of 1540v2. I discovered that the plastic reinforcement trim piece on toe of the 1540v3 is much smaller than the previous design.

Due to this decreased size, it does not allow any real protection from the toe rubbing a hole through the fabric like the old design. Very disappointed since this is a pricey shoe and this color has been my favorite.

I personally will think twice before I buy again. Maybe the next design will be better.

I first started purchasing New Balance on my podiatrist recommendation and they have helped with several foot issues with great support and comfort. However, the two recent pair of shoes I ordered had cheep insoles and little support.

I sent the first pair back (Fresh Foam X 880v12. ) I tried again with this more expensive pair but it had the same flimsy insoles. I needed the shoes so I wore them anyway but both my feet hurt bad enough that I couldn’t finish grocery shopping.

So, I pulled out the insoles from an old pair of New Balance and compared the difference in the quality and support. I put the old insole in the new shoes and it solved the foot pain problems. New Balance needs to go back to using good insole support into their shoes.

I have worn Asics GT 1000 and 2000 series shoes since 2006 when I started running marathons and after being evaluated and fitted at my local running store. I purchased two pairs of GT 1000/ 9 in early November 2021.

One pair from Amazon and another from Asics. com. I rotate them every other day and run between 36 and 40 miles a week. I’m not nieve enough to expect them to never wear out but despite wearing a full size larger than my regular shoe size, I get a hole in the toe.

this has become a problem for several years but does not usually happen for five or six months (2. 5 to 3 months in reality because I rotate them every other day). I noticed today that both of my not even 3-month-old shoes have already worn through the lining inside the shoe and it’s only a matter of days until the outer layer will have a hole as well.

I’m writing this review hoping that if enough of us speak up, Asics will reconsider using inferior products to make the shoes that we all love. As distance runners, we all know how difficult it can be to find the right fit! I have an old pair from years ago that I’ve kept around to paint in and they still don’t have holes.

Asics has the capability to produce a much better product. The fit and design are on point PLEASE bring back the quality!.

I bought these sneakers at the request of my therapist to help aid in stability & support after surgery. I had bone cancer & had a rod put in my bone to replace the affected bone which obviously had me walking with a limp until I’m able to strengthen my quad muscle.

Previously I was using my crocs & sketchers which both are horrible support for stability. After buying these sneakers as soon as I put them on I was in love. They offer stability & the support as well as comfort when I walk.

I wear a 6 1/2 & I have a wide foot. In a review I read that the sneakers fit true to size however when I purchased a 6 1/2 they were too small so I returned them, went up to a size 7 and they fit perfectly.

I definitely intend on purchasing another pair in a different color. I do wish that they had other options as far as material because I won’t be able to wear these in the winter time because the material is more of a breathable mesh.

So for the winter I’ll have to find something else because this is definitely a summer shoe.

As can be seen from the letter ‘D’ printed inside the tongue of these and on their shoe box, Asics markets and sells these as a Wide fit shoe. Individual stores have no say in this, they are required to refer to them in the same way Asics does.

I have ordered the womens GT-2000 9 in a range of colours and widths. I found that the black version is definitely wider fitting than the Average (B) width version, however it doesn’t feel as wide as the Thunder Blue / Storm Blue version that is also called Wide (D).

Therefore, if you normally need to buy a Wide in Asics go with the Thunder Blue colourway. The Black ones in actuality feel more like ‘C’ (sometimes called Comfort) width, part way between B and D width.

I normally buy average width in Asics but was able to wear these black ones, whereas normally D width is way too sloppy on me. The mesh used on the GT 2000 does give quite a bit which has benefits, particularly when compared to other Asics shoes that have fabric so firm that it restricts your toes from moving up and down in a natural way when you walk, however one thing to keep in mind is that you will need to keep your big toe nails trimmed short with these or you may increase the risk of tearing them.

Separately, if you need these for work these are a good definite black colour whereas the new version of the GT-2000 released this month, despite being called black, is more of a washed black / dark grey which some workplaces may not accept.

One of the great things about the GT-2000 generally is that while Asics classes it as a support shoe, it doesn’t have unnecessarily firm bits ramming up under your arch which is very painful if you have plantar fasciitis, for example.

If you are choosing to buy new shoes during lockdown I would suggest choosing a retailer than accepts returns, such as The Athlete’s Foot, and perhaps order these in both your normal shoe size and a half size up or otherwise in two colourways.

That way you can always try them on briefly at home and return whatever doesn’t suit you.

I’ve put hundreds of miles on versions 10 and 11 of the 1080, and I can say that version 12 is the better of the three by a considerable margin. Most of it has to do with getting rid of the god-awful “UltraHeel” but there are other subtle improvements that take the 12 to the next level.

First, the Fresh Foam tuning. This is still your long haul, easy miles daily cruiser, but the compound in the 12 is slightly (really, just slightly) firmer, slightly bouncier than previous versions. I’ve found myself enjoying the ride far more than I expected.

The Fresh Foam here is dense, substantial, and it feels durable. Second, there as been a slight improvement on the lockdown across the midfoot, which I was not expecting but it feels welcome. In versions 10 and 11, I remember often feeling like the the top and sides of my foot were irritated by the rigid structure that surrounded the midfoot cage–not quite Ultraboost midfoot cage territory, but still enough to notice.

Now, I feel very well locked down without any sort of obvious bunching, pinching, or other unpleasantness. I think some of this has to do with a better heel lockdown; I’m simply not cranking the laces like I felt I had to before.

But the rest of the upper has improved, too, which is commendable. Finally, the shoe just *looks* better. I love the design of this version, and it makes me want to reach for it more. The weird veiny vibe of 10 and 11 is gone, and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Overall, what a shoe, and what an improvement! I’m so excited to spend the summer cruising in the 1080v12.

I got the Fresh Foam X 1080v12 as a daily trainer but, to me, it’s more of an easy or recovery day kind of shoe. I normally wear 8 and sometimes 8. 5 so I ordered 8 EE and it was way too big when I tried it on.

So I returned it and ordered 7. 5 EE and it’s still on the roomy side. NB’s idea of “wide” seems to differ from other brands’ shoes. Normally, the standard size works fine for me as my width is probably “medium”, not “narrow” or “wide”.

Anyway, I’ve already put in 20 miles on 1080v12 so I’m keeping it but I’ve decided that I will put it away for now and use it in the winter with thicker socks. The 1080v12 has good cushioning but isn’t quite as soft as I expected, which isn’t good or bad, just not what I thought I was getting.

It is firmer than I thought it’d be and has a decent energy return and pop. It’s fairly comfortable but is a lot of shoe and heavier than I’d like for a daily trainer or for tempo running. It doesn’t make me want to go fast.

At the same time, it’s not as soft-cushioned as other shoes that I’d consider for easy/recovery running. It sits somewhere in between and I’m not sure what to make of that. Overall, I enjoyed the several 6~7 mile runs I’ve had with the 1080v12 but it’s a little too roomy with my summer socks and feels a bit clunky for faster running.

I’m in SoCal and the ongoing 100+ degree heatwave has made me adjust my running schedule and the types of run I make and this shoe just does not fit in right now. Although this may seem like a less-than-positive review, I think it’s a very good pair of running shoes.

20 miles isn’t enough to make a final judgment and I think I will enjoy the 1080v12 in cooler weather and grow to like it more as time goes by and I rack up more miles.

I have to say at first I was skeptical I read all of the reviews and I had never ever invested in an expensive shoe. When I put my foot in the shoe and I stepped down oh my God it felt so comfortable it’s the most comfortable shoe that I have ever purchased in my life I feel so good in them that I don’t want to even take them off.

If you are looking for a very comfortable shoe lightweight that has plenty of space in the front I highly recommend this shoe. I have flat feet and I thought they were big in the front because I just feel like I have space but when I checked and I felt My foot it was just perfect.

I am never buying a $30 tennis shoe in my life again. You truly get what you pay for and I am in love with the comfort feeling of this shoe. it is truly the best investment and best birthday gift that I could give myself I am going this Saturday to the better back store to get Measured for some inserts and I can’t even imagine how my foot is going to feel then if it already feels so good I highly recommend this product and I’m not even trying to overexaggerate nobody is paying me to give this review but I just had to leave this review for everyone to know that my feet are literally walking on clouds.

I did not buy the yellow color shoes the ones I bought were the black wide size 8 but I can imagine they all feel the same.

I’ve been a Saucony runner and walker since the 1980s, and have always loved the different styles as they have evolved. But this one is the absolute worst, and if I could NOT give it a star, that would be the case.

The whole sole constantly pushes your foot forward on your toes, forcing your big toe, especially, to constantly hit the front of the shoe (hello? Talk about wearing a hole in the shoe in no time!!) No padding whatsoever between your toes and the asphalt.

If you tie the laces tight enough so as to mitigate that happening, your whole foot goes numb by the end of the run. I tried it twice- on a 2. 2 mile run and 4 mile run. Both thumbs down on the two. Extremely disappointed in the design – it’s no wonder they were on sale.

So comfortable and look great. I’ve been through so many sneakers trying to find a pair that were comfortable , spent a lot of money too. I have high arches and have been having pain in my arches from not having the proper support.

I’ve also tried every insole more money spent on sneakers that still hurt my feet. Finally I’ve found a shoe that feels great on my feet! The cushioning is great on these sneaker’s, I can walk all day in them.

I will definitely purchase these sneaker’s again!.

The shoe is very comfortable, and I love that the coloring is not garish/clashing colors like many running shoes these days. The only weird thing about the design (Charcoal/Rose) is the lighter-colored line that highlights the top of the Saucony logo.

Looking down at my feet, it looks almost like I spilled something, because the entire upper of the show is a grey/charcoal color and then that light contrast that seems out of place. It would look less so if it outlined the entire logo, not just the top.

But it obviously doesn’t affect the wear at all and isn’t a big issue. I do wish the rose was more visible than just the sole, as it’s an attractive color and nice contrast to the charcoal. I used to wear 10W in Saucony, but found I needed 10.

5 W in this style – they were a little too short. I’ve been very happy with them.

Bought these about a month ago. I run, on average, 30 miles a week. I have been wearing ASICS for 10+ years, and the GT 1000s are always my favorite. I have tried other brands and always come back to these.

My step is neutral. My ankles roll slightly in. For these shoes, always buy a size bigger!! I wear a 6. 5-7 normally and always get these in a 7. 5. They are a tad narrow in the toe box. I love the color of these! Favorite running shoe in a great color!.

I have purchased many shoes in this series since the GT-1000 9. I have to say in previous series they only lasted 6-9 months before breaking down and that was with alternating 2 pairs. I’ve only had this pair a couple weeks, so only time will tell.

Cute colors that stand out against my boring color mandated scrubs. Runs true to asics width but seems a bit longer than my usual size 8, not a deal breaker though. Considering purchasing a regular color to alternate for work.

I love these. I hesitated bc I don’t run anywhere near what I used to so I couldn’t really justify the price. Then I said happy birthday to me and got them because I loved how bright they are. They’re super comfortable, look awesome, and feel good for my embarrassing running.

I like Aisics bc they fit my wide-but-not-wide-enough-for-wide feet, and these fit and look great.

First, a shout-out to Altitude Sports – the shoes arrived so fast I was blown away! I’ve been running in Brooks for years- love them for their stability and durability. With no seams, there is nothing rubbing or poking and the toe box feels nice and roomy.

I ordered a size 8 as usual and the fit is perfect- consistent with previous Adrenaline models. For comparison, I’m a 7. 5 in the Saucony Hurricane and an 8 in Sam Edelman flats. In seasons when I don’t alternate between 2 pairs of running shoes, the Brooks have still held up great at 20-30k per week… when they start feeling compressed around November they still look good and do fine for walking, gardening, etc.

I was so excited to get my shoes. Altitude sports was great. Quick delivery and good customer service via phone. However very disappointing. The blue colour I chose were awesome. However, the stitching inside the shoe, where the laces begin is dreadfully painful.

It bruised the top part of my foot and I’ve been unable to wear them. The stitching is poor and there is a thick, hard fabric that makes the show unwearable. I had the GTS 21 and I never had this problem.

I am so disappointed.

These are my 5th pair of Brooks Adrenaline and have loved every pair until this pair. (GTS 22) I was so excited to get a new pair and what a disappointment. They do not fit near as nicely as every other pair I’ve had.

They are narrower, the tongue is weird , the laces are too short and they would definitely need to be broken in for me. (I’ve never had to do that before with Brooks) Sadly I am going to return them and look for something else.

Ahhh Brooks how you’ve disappointed me.

The left shoe in the pair that I received has a defect in the back of the shoe where the molding/stitching wasn’t done properly. I wore the shoes for 1. 5 miles and had horrible poking in the back of my foot the whole time, but in the left shoe only.

Right shoe feels just as a shoe should feel. I engaged asics in the warranty process because there is clearly a defect with this particular left shoe that I received. I was told that because they manufacture the shoe they determine when there is a defect.

Interesting, considering none of the warranty dept personnel ever tried this shoe on for themselves to experience the poking pain. The “warranty” at asics is a joke. Horribly unreasonable customer service, essentially called my experience with their product a lie, and not at all representative of a company that stands by their products.

Unfortunately for them, I and my family will never shop at asics again. There are far better options available out there!.

I just did my first triathlon, and wore these shoes for training and the race. I am overweight, so need shoes which go the extra mile, so to speak, in all areas. They feel SO GOOD! The support and cushioning were great for keeping my ankles and knees in good shape during my training.

No blisters, ever ever. I love these shoes, and wear them for everyday use and walking, as well as running. They last a long time, too!.

I bought these shoes for my son. This is his second pair. He tried another brand and complained that his feet hurt from them. He kept going back to his old ASICS. I asked what was the difference and he said they feel squishy inside and don’t hurt my feet.

I laughed and understand that it was the gel insoles that were supporting and making his feet feel good. We are on a second pair of ASICS for him and will be buying them again when he grows out of his current pair.

I was introduced to HOKA shoes 2 days ago in Dick’s sporting Goods when I asked the assistant for good running shoes. I’d never heard of them before, and it helped that there was a customer there who also highly recommended HOKA shoes.

I tried them on and loved them, but the price put me off, so I went looking at other stores in the area, and ended up going back to Dick’s to buy them. Nothing compares to this shoe, and that was evident the first time I wore them on my daily 4 mile walk\run.

I usually walk more and run less, and the first time I wore them I was able to run more and walk less. My feet usually ache by the time I’m finished, and with my new HOKA’s I had no ache at all on my feet.

Completely comfortable, and they look amazing too. I got the light blue ones. These are top notch running shoes, and the price reflects it. I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for, and I got me the best shoes ever! I’m a size 9, but opted for the 9.

5 W and they fit perfectly with socks. My feet feel very supported throughout, and they’re just snug enough so that my foot doesn’t move around inside of them which can lead to blisters. They go on with ease too.

They slipped right on easily without the use of a shoe tongue. I have a high arch, and these shoes are made for arch support. You can feel it as soon as your foot slides inside. They just feel so good on your feet.

As I started walking, it was a little weird because of how the shoe rolls with your stride, but I was used to it very quickly and it felt so good I started running with them!!! I was able to run for most of the 4 miles I do a day, and that hasn’t been the case for the other running shoes I paid a fortune for before I found HOKA.

I’m very impressed, and very happy I went back to Dick’s and bought these. Im hooked on HOKA for sure.

Let me start off by saying I *REALLY* wanted Hoka shoes to work for me! I ordered this shoe in a 6. 5 Wide and planned to use them for treadmill and road running. I have overpronation, which was the deciding factor for these shoes.

The toe-box is wonderful! Ample space for my wide toe splay and the upper is so comfortable and almost sock-like. The support and cushion is outstanding and I would have LOVED to keep these. Unfortunately, my entire foot is wide, and not just my toes.

The raised inner edge of the arch and heel foam (likely for added support) hits nearly two centimeters into my arch and heel. It’s like having a stick inside my shoe running down my arch. Anyway, I took them back to a brick and mortar store with a Hoka Hub and tried two other Hoka models while I was there.

Both of the other models had the same problem. I do not recommend this brand for wide feet, even with a wide size.

I’m comparing these to my Bondi 7s which I love and use for my daily exercise walks. The Bondis are massively cushioned, I only wish I had them available when I was working in my hospital, retired now.

I thought for more all around daily wear, less vigorous than a run or exercise walk, something with a little less height and cushion might be a good choice. That led me to a great local running shoe store, Feet First in Columbia Maryland.

They suggested the Arahi 5. I’ve now had the opportunity to try various Hoka shoes and although I have a medium width foot whether measuring with a tape measure or one of those Brannock devices in the shoe stores, the standard width versions have been too cramped for me.

So I’ve chosen wides both in the Bondi and now the Arahi and that has worked out extremely well. If you have a narrow, low volume foot the standard width should be fine but if you have a medium to wide foot I strongly recommend just starting with a 2EE.

The Arahi puts you a little closer to the ground but still has a wonderful amount of cushioning. I’m not a runner but for vigorous walking both the Arahi and Bondi are great choices, you’ll just bounce more in the Bondis.

For general all day wear while shopping, running errands, going to appointments, etc. I think the Arahis are a fantastic choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the Bondis for those purposes but I’d be doing more bouncing.

Regarding ordering from Hoka, I wasn’t familiar with them at all prior to a couple months ago but I did order a pair of Clifton 8s, standard width, too narrow for me. They arrived the very next day! I did send them back, Hoka makes this easy, and they refunded the purchase almost immediately.

Now that I have more experience with their sizing and different models I’ll likely order from them again, very soon possibly – I’m waiting for more feedback on the new Ora 2 recovery shoe, I’m looking for a comfortable lighter weight slip on with typical Hoka cushioning.

I have been a Brooks Adrenaline GTS lover for going on 12 years. 3 years ago, I noticed changes in the shoe but not too bad so I purchased again last year. Last year, again, I had issues. But, because I have absolutely loved this shoe for so long, I tried again this year.

Sadly, this may very well be the last year I purchase for running. I’ve been lightly running in the shoe for a little over 2 months now, maybe at most 100 miles on them, and the treads are separating from the outsole of the shoe.

same thing happened last year. Two other issues I have had last year and this year are (1) the heel counter causing skin abrasion (until the skin toughens in the area) and (2) small sections of the upper mesh detaching.

I will say the midsole and the toe box are great which is probably why I tried one last time on this model. Overall, I will be trying another runner soon.

I have worn Brooks adrenaline gts for years. Most recently, the last two I have had the right outer rubber sole has peeled off. They are the newest Brooks Adrenaline shoe in production. This has become a tripping issue.

I have less than the recommended 300-500 miles recommended for replacing with new shoes. The good news is that after sending a message with pictures of my shoes, they are mailing me a new pair. My other concern is the mesh on the upper forefoot gets a hole where the big toe touches the material.

Other than that I will continue to buy and wear Brooks shoes.

The fit is accurate. I will give these a 4 because the insole seems to break down in these pretty fast. They aren’t maximum support on the insole, so I have to have the Road runner inserts which I’m not convinced are always a great idea.

They don’t correct any gait issues or anything, it’s just the shape of your foot. Lately the back of my ankles are getting irritated and I’m not sure if it’s the extreme dry weather we are having or the insole.

The shoe itself is made really well and lasts long. I only use these for brisk walking, I’m not a runner. I log 4-5 miles daily give or take a few days out of the month.

I have been wearing NB shoes for 20+ years. I started with the 1220 and purchased every 1200 series they ever made. But, these days I had to switch to another model so I tried their “Fresh Foam” shoes.

Fresh Foam isn’t for me, even though I own a pair, because the foam lacks the cushioning of the 1200 series. If you are a heavier runner the 940V4 is the shoes to replace the 1260. It has plenty of cushioning, very wide toe box and runs slighter bigger than the Fresh Foam models.

I found the size of the 940V4 to be similar to the 1260 series. I have been forced to purchase my size, 11. 5 2E, from other vendors because RR Sports doesn’t keep it in stock. If you are looking for a motion control shoe with real cushioning, unlike the Fresh Foam, then this is your NB shoe.

i used the 990 and was so so happy. i suffer from plantar fasciitis and had a very hard time finding a good orthotic. long story short. i found the 990 and together with my orthotics i was pain free for 2 years.

now there is no 990 in size 7 so the shoe store i went to gave me this. what can i tell you , my pain is back again because there is no siz 7 in womens 990. now im back to square one. this shoe is comfortable and lightweight.

thats it. i cant give anything positive bec. i have pain. the sole is foam unlike the 990 it was rubber and had a good support and bounce. this one does not have bounce and not enough space to fit in my orthotic and the back slips a little.

the shoe store told me ill get used to it. that actually doesnt bother. the pain does. why cant new balance get themselves togehter and do the 990 again? its made in united states. there is no issue with importing it.

i dont understand. and now i dont know what im going to do. i stay on my feet for many hours and im scared im going to have all the pain come back which is starting for the last 4-5 days since i bought these shoes.

im really in a bad place. i dont know what ill do. for sure go back to the shoe store to try a different shoe.

As soon as I received the product I noticed how light and narrow the shoe was which would help me when I’m running in the morning and when I casually wear them to work. After putting them on with some socks I felt like i was walking on clouds, something soft yet still had structure to protect my feet.

I did have to adjust to the height of the shoe and the overall shape of it but I was able to adjust to the shoe in a few days without any problems. As for the fit of the shoe it was somewhat narrow which I made work but for someone who prefers more space a half size up would be great as well.

It’s important to note that having a snug and perfect fit is needed when running. The overall feel of the shoe was great. The construction of it was outstanding. For example, the materials used to create the shoe were all to keep performance in mind.

The breathable upper with a rubber bottom gives grip and breath ability for the feet. The design of the shoe is also good enough in order to wear casually to the gym, work, and all other sorts of trips.

I found myself wearing it to work, gym, running, and walking around and they have little to no wear on them. I have yet to notice any rips or tears. With that being said the shoe was most definitely comfortable enough to wear all day.

After running in the morning I would take the shoes to work as well. The best thing about the shoe was the style, durability, comfort, lightness, and performance that the shoe provides. I was able to wear a good looking shoe while keeping the performance on them.

The comfort was incredible and it made it versatile to wear. One thing that I may change would be how tall the bottom of the shoe is. If it were a little bit lower to the ground or was a little bit less narrow it would’ve been perfect.

For example, I found the heal to be a tad bit too tall but it wasn’t a problem. Overall, the shoe is durable and is another great product that nike has created.

I bought these shoes about 8 months ago. Now my pinky toes and big toes are coming out of the shoe as there are holes in the mesh. I have really thin feet, so the holes surprised me a lot. You would think asics would make a more durable shoe, considering its a running shoe.

Not worth the price at all, especially for the amount of time it lasted. My last pair of ASICS lasted me 8 years. So I was very disappointed. I genuinely thought I was investing in a good quality shoe that would last years.

It was comfy though. I will stick to leather shoes now, as I think companies are using mesh to reduce shoes lifespan. I have a friend that has the same problem with mesh shoes.

I am healing from foot surgery and needed new walking shoes. I bought them as they fit well and were on sale. After wearing them I can say I would recommend them even if they weren’t on sale. The firm sole helped stabilized me.

The laces loosen easily to allow room when my foot started to swell. I usually wear a wide width but these are wide enough for me. I do go up a half size in running shoes and hiking boots. I no longer run but hope to get back to logging more walking miles.

I was looking for another running shoe to rotate in my collection. I bought the Axon b/c it had a 4 mm drop. I prefer to run in 4-6 mm heel to toe drop. The axon has great cushioning if you prefer that.

What bothered me was the rocker style. I think its more geared to heel strikers, which I am not. I am a mid foot striker. I also felt like I was running on a platform, almost sitting up too high. My regular running shoes are Kinvara’s & for longer running distances (like marathons), I run in Freedom’s.

Saucony’s got a lot of shoes to choose from, I’m confident you’ll find something you like!.

I ordered 2 pair this time around and really love both. The ‘stability fly’ was a second choice because the other shoe I ordered was out of stock. What a happy substitute! Fits/feels great and no problem with orthotics fitting into the footbed.

I do have to comment that I love the service from the healthy feet store. I received an email telling me that my first choice was not available, called customer service, conversed with the most helpful woman from Lancaster and got really great shoes very quickly.

No problems with the credit card refund, everything was a breeze. Thank you.

I wore Propet athletic shoes a few years ago because they are one of the few shoe manufacturers (along with New Balance) that make narrow widths. Since then, I have been buying cheaper medium width shoes and have developed worsening back and hip pain.

Will be 70 in August and thought it was aging and arthritis (and part of it almost certainly is). finally decided to “splurge” on these shoes and within a week pain has dramatically decreased. They are remarkably lightweight and comfortable, yet seem sturdy and well made.

Getting lots of compliments on the styling. Guess you “get what you pay for”, thanks Propet!.

I purchased these for my dad who’s diabetic. He’s retired from the both the military and the post office and his feet have gone through war and back but his medicare supplement only allows for a new pair of diabetic shoes once a year so I bought him these as an extra pair for Father’s day and he loves them.

These are much more stylish then then the traditional velcro shoes offered through medical providers. So far no complaints and trust me, he’d let me know if he had them. I work in the medical field and can attest that these are GREAT! They are extra deep and therapeutic in that they promote healthy circulation in your feet.

The insoles have orthotic arch support and conform to the contours of the foot to reduce pressure on the bottom of the foot. They are also designed to reduce the risk of skin breakdown thus the interior is soft with no protruding stitching or seams that can rub against the foot or cause ulceration.

They have a higher, wider and deeper toe-box and they have stretchable uppers to help with pressure points.

My last 3 shoes were New Balance Vongo 4’s, as I like to keep an extra pair of whatever works in the event a shoe changes or becomes unavailable in my size. I had been eagerly awaiting for the arrival of the 5’s but I noticed 2 key changes.

1, the sock-style upper was gone. I know many ppl did not like that feature, but I really liked it. So now I had more reason to consider alternatives since the 5’s had a traditional tongue upper. 2, the drop doubled from 4mm to 8mm which I found drastic to double the drop in the same shoe.

I ended up going with the Hoka Arahi as the drop was only 5mm and the price was also $20 less. Knowing RR has the 90 day fit guarantee, I figured I’d try our Hokas for the first time. I really like the fit and feel of the Hokas.

I have had injuries everywhere, so a large change in the drop was a concern. I’d consider the Vongos in the future, but for now, there’s no reason to spend more. The Hokas are a tad stiffer, but it could be a result of them being new.

But the key is avoiding pain which the Hokas have delivered.
