Best shoes for Hypermobile 5 year old?

So DS5 has Hypermobility and flat feet. His ankles turn in a lot, and he falls a lot whilst running.

Could anyone recommend some shoes that would support his feet? He’s potentially autistic too and hates the feel of a lot of shoes! Physio has said he doesn’t think insoles would help.

Our girl who has EDS wears doc marten boots as they really stabilise her ankles. For trainers it's asics preferably the further stability model - not sure how small they go

Thank you! Not a chance of me getting docs on him, but I’ll definitely look at Asics!
