Shoes/Trainers

nl1973

Hi all, new here.

Been diagnosed with OA in both feet but symptoms come and go and I am not constantly in pain which is a good thing for now.

Consultant has told me to buy some really good trainers for support which will help. I am also booked in for Kenalog injections.

What shoes/trainers do people recommend?

Thanks all in advance

My friend bought kybun shoes swears by them. They were cheaper before brexit and covid but now very expensive. However cheaper than a private orthopaedic appointment and much cheaper than an MRI which I seem to be spending loads on so maybe worth it in the end.

Well I am looking for shoes now told by the podiatry to look for Rocker soles and plenty of toe room looked at many they are expensive or trainers or I don't like them. So way to go yet.

Hi, wondering how you got on with the rocker soled trainers?

I've tried done Hoka Bondi 8 which I think were great for ankle arthritis but flared my knee arthritis.

So now trying New Balance 880 snd hoping they are the go between for ankles and knees
