Using a neutral shoe with custom orthotics?
Quite a number of years ago, I was fitted for custom orthotics using gait analysis software at a podiatrist. This was mainly to correct some issues I kept having with my IT band. The orthotics corrected my issues and have run virtually pain free since. I kept the same shoe I had been using prior to the orthotics.
I have always used a stability shoes when running. So my question is, is it necessary to use a stability shoe if I have custom orthotics to correct the shortcomings of my feet? I asked the podiatrist this question but he said keep the same shoe but he wasn't all that interested discussing it at length. I would like to have the choice of a lighter neutral shoe with my orthotics if possible. Thoughts on this?
