Support shoes for Hypermobile feet

52 replies

Allfurcoatandnoknickers · 14/09/2023 07:30

I’ve found out recently that my hypermobility extends to my feet. I’ve got Achilles tendinitis and bunions forming - yay.
Having to review my footwear - nothing seems comfy any more apart from my walking boots!
Im after some supportive trainers that aren’t fabric at the sides so supportive of my feet to stop them rolling around.
I’m after some every day leather type trainers that offer full support that I can wear with my orthotics.
Any suggestions from fellow foot sufferers?

Most proper running shoes with removable insoles - you might need to get a larger size to give you the proper width - but above all, go to a specialist running shop where they can see, measure and test.

I have a combination of Asics, Adidas (not my favourite, tbh), and On - I find the Cloudflyers are probably the most supportive, I can't remember which version on Ons DP uses (he has bunions and gout, so needed more cushioning despite being very light as well as orthotics), but they look leather all over, rather than fabric.

I hated Brooks of all kinds.

I have very many of these fitflops in many different colours https://www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/rally-leather-trainers-p-X22#090

Ive had a lot of surgery on tendons etc where I've broken so much stuff . I need a slight heel and no pressure on the back of the heels where I've had surgery . Lace ups are necessary and a wide and high footbed as I have bony protuberances on top of feet that surgery hasn't helped.

I don't like sketchers as too unstable other than sketcher relaxed fit work shoes https://www.brantano.co.uk/products/work-relaxed-fit-dighton-bricelyn-sr-safety-shoe62209?variant=39964603220070&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA98WrBhAYEiwA2WvhOqJeyUg5GItk_AcRLm1XDhDkj_5kNSjCstF6pjPdqvsUsiKZxLaLcRoCAagQAvD_BwE

New balance trainers , for me, are ok for a while but get uncomfortable.
