My work involves a lot of walking about during the day. I have been wearing utterly crap unsupportive cheap shoes and due to the running around all day I have tendinitis in both ankles yay for me!

I’d be really grateful for any suggestions of good quality shoes or even smart trainers that I could wear as really need to look after my poor feet etc and all I’ve seen so far have been pretty ugly. Thanks in advance

I had peroneal tendinitis in my right ankle and when that resolved my left ankle flared up (probably related to lupus for me) - I feel your pain.
I know they’re not considered very stylish on here, but Hotter (Leanne) are both comfortable and supportive.

@Freda69 I have the exact same ankle issue as you.. how did it resolve itself? Did you do anything particular?

Yes they are fantastic. I work in medical and Im on my feet all day. These are hands down the best shoes Ive ever owned. Not particularly glam but at this point I dont care.

FitFlop branded shoes - they can be pricey so also check out M&M Direct and Amazon. They are almost the only shoes I can wear for my planter fasciitis and be comfortable.

Bared is an Australian brand, designed by a podiatrist. The shoes have good arch support and come with varying inserts to allow a good degree of customizationi have a pair of sandals from them which allow me to walk miles, and I’ve my eye on a pair of monk straps for autumn /winter.

Thank you they look great but possibly out of my price range 😢 I’ve just come across Air and Grace…
