I had an orthotics appoitment today after 20 years of rolling my ankles resulting in numerous breaks over those years and after an examination and previous tests/scans to find out the reasons nothing medical was found and now ive been given arch support insoles that I now have to wear along with basically a telling off about how rubbish my skechers trainers that I had on were- how they have no support and basically are just flexible material🤦‍♀️ ive worn sketchers for years!!! and was always given advice they were great for support.

The consultant told me I need new better quality shoes /trainers and recommeneded Nike Air ive just been to sports direct and tried some on they felt thin and flimsy and not suitable for heavy bulky insoles either.
I have purchased a pair of Nike revolution 6 that seem like they have a good quality high sole and and plastic backing at the back wasn't expecting to be spending £48 on them!

Anyway that's just 1 pair of trainers to start me off and I like to have a couple so any recommendations please ??? Hoping I may find someone on here with same issues as me

I have Vionics slippers for my flat feet. They also do shoes and trainers so would be worth a look .
