Shoes with a larger drop and using orthotics, make you sit higher in a shoe which can cause your foot to move forward to where you would not only be sitting on the orthotic incorrectly, but your toes would be pushed into the front of your shoe causing nail issues. I found that the smaller drop shoes do not cause those problems.
Another problem is not many shoes have stabilization to them which a person with plantar fasciitis and severe pronation need even if using orthotics.
I have noticed on the Asics and New Balance they are using cushioning that seems to disappear when you have orthotics. They seem to wear down faster.
I need new sneakers every 3 -4 months because I wear them every day for about 8 or more hours. I am trying to figure out what is best, but have not gotten guidance from any podiatrist.
I stick with brands I know I try to look up everything I can so I make the best decision that I can make about sneakers. It isn’t easy. This page helped quite a bit, but someone needs to address the problem of having orthotics and the issues they cause.
