Supportive running shoes

4 replies

I've been to see a podiatrist today and she has said I have Metatarsal Capsulitis in my left foot and a mild 'stage 1' bunion. I'm currently on Week 4 of C25k after gluteal tendinitis on my left side put paid to my 5k a week run last October.

I got some new running shoes last September and am now pretty sure that this has contributed to both issues as the inserts I had made by the podiatrist in Jan 2021 don't fit the new shoes that well. To add to my woes, I'm hypermobile and my big toe on my left foot is lower than my other toes if that makes sense!!
I'm after some really supportive running shoes, ones that don't have too much of a flexible sole - so many of them now are made from lightweight mesh type of material.
Has anyone got any recommendations? I have had gait analysis done etc., and will be going to a well respected running shop so obviously will take advice, but wonder if anyone has any good supportive shoes that they get on with so I can narrow things down a bit!!

I should add that before I started with gluteal tendinitis I had been running for around 2.5 years and had done around 5k a week, sometimes x2 runs - a 5k and a 3k and had been injury free up to that point.

I rate Salomon running shoes (currently have Salomon Sonic 4 women’s shoes). They’re supportive but firm rather than really bouncy. Pricey, though! 😬

I love Under Armour running shoes . I can't have too flexible a sole either . However I also have a really cheap Karrimor pair that I love too . It really is vital to try runners on .

Just had a look at the Salomon Sonic 4 and they look like what I'm after - thanks!
