PODIATRIST DISCUSSES WALKING SHOES FOR PRONATED FEET

If you have pronated feet, "Walking shoes should have rigid outsoles which prevent the shoes from bending or flexing," says Velimir Petkov, DPM, owner of Premier Podiatry in Clifton, New Jersey. "This allows your shoes to hold your feet in a mostly neutral position without allowing them to overpronate."

Whether you have high arches or low arches, it's worth investing in custom orthotics, Dr. Petkov says. These "support your arches regardless of the foot structure [and] can be inserted into most shoes and sneakers to stabilize your foot and ankle joints and prevent future pathology."
