I fixed my problem with my legs and feet...A good shoe!

Published

Saucony...they come in different stages..1 for less support..4 & up for more support, the runners and military people buy them. Asics are the other ones that they buy. I have bought so many shoes b/c of an heel spur..since the surgery I have found Saucony are the only ones the have the cushion and support I need for 12 hrs. I do hope this help! I do not wear shocking either.

I've heard people say this before, but the only Sauconys I have tried have been completely flat on the inside. What model do you have?

Stormy,

Thanks for the thread. Do the Saucony shoes have support for the ankle

as well? I have a chronic ankle injury and a bunion on the same foot.

I am looking for as much support as I can get...

Having the worlds flattest feed and need more arch support than even shoes touting arch supports give. Any recommendations for that? I've had special orthotics made by a top-notch podiatrist, but they are hard plastic and no shoe seriously keeps them inside the shoe...always this suction-type pull that makes the shoe move around; short of ankle-high shoes (which I can't STAND) I've found none that accomodate those orthotics. I buy CVS heel protectors (grey rubber) and 'build' my own arch support by layering three overlapping, graduating protectors to give support along the whole arch area. Tried one gel arch support in each shoe but they don't cover the area sufficiently for my LONG feet.

Truly not sure, but the shoe fits right below the ankles. I have bunions as well and I truly do not hurt in these shoes..

ok, for the support.werid but it works for me....I am a healthly woman, I wear mens scoccer socks that goes to your knees...I got mine at Target(: and the shoes have enough support to which you do not need anything in them...I try it, I bought inserts to try OMG..they killed my arch( it is high) and feet, so i took them out and my feet were having a party! I worked 16hrs that day..so now the only thing i wear is the scoccer socks for support and the saucony stage 1 shoe. I will be getting the stage 4 b/c my hubby has those and he loves the support and comfort! My hubby has the flat feet as well..

I too slept on a waterbed for almost 20 years, I now have a sleep number bed with a heated mattress pad works wonders for all those aches one gets when one gets older, especially good on my bad back.
