Shoes can amplify or absorb load. You don’t need brand evangelism—just principles: stability for workdays, appropriate cushion for mileage, and room for toes to spread.
Principles
- Stable platform: Minimal side-to-side wobble for long standing days.
- Heel-to-toe drop: Moderate works for most; drastic changes irritate calves/backs.
- Fit: Thumb’s width at toe; midfoot snug, not strangled.
Test Drive
- Walk briskly, turn quickly, try stairs.
- Bring your insoles or orthotics to test fit.
If Pain Persists
We’ll assess foot strength, ankle mobility, and gait, then match footwear and drills to your needs. Sometimes the fix is strength, not a different shoe.
Not sure what your feet want? Book a gait and shoe consult with Dr. Edward Komberg.
