Choosing a running shoe when you’re hypermobile can be a real challenge. One of the biggest issues is finding a shoe wide enough in the toes but tight around the ankle.

Here are three shoes I often recommend to address these issues.

A bunion occurs when the big toe start to turn toward the second toe.

We use kinesiology tape to gently straighten the toe. This will not fix the bunion but can reduce pain in the joint and foot.

A tailors bunion (or bunionette) can develop from wearing tight, pointed shoes and lead to pain in the joint.

This taping can help reduce some of the stress on the joint, reducing your pain.

This is my most used taping technique for treating plantar fasciitis. We use rigid strapping to help take strain out of the arch and reduce stress in the plantar fascia.

Make sure to comment “Plantar” and I’ll send you my pdf guide to managing plantar fasciitis.

Podiatrist shoe ratings for plantar fasciitis:

• Dr. Martens – 2/10
• Skechers GoWalk (slip-ons) – 1/10
• Skechers ArchFit – 5/10
• Converse – 0/10
• Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 – 10/10
• Hoka Bondi – 6/10

Support and structure matter more than softness when it comes to plantar fasciitis.

This strapping is perfect if your child is struggling with heel pain, calf pain or Severs.

We apply about 70% tension to the long strips of k-tape to decrease stress on the Achilles tendon. This tape can stay on for 2-3 days and can be very effective at reducing pain during sports.

One of the easiest ways to check if your child’s shoes fit properly is to remove the insole and have them stand on it.

If their foot hangs over the edge, the shoe is likely too short or too narrow, which means their toes will be squashed once it’s on. Ideally, you want about a thumb’s width of space between the longest toe and the end of the insole to allow for growth.

This quick check can be done at home before school starts or in store when buying new shoes to make sure they fit comfortably and leave room for growing feet.

It was great having our friends from visit last week for an inservice.

Sharing ideas on assessment and treatment across podiatry and physiotherapy helps us all deliver better outcomes for patients. We really value the chance to learn from each other and strengthen the connection between our teams.
