Often patients come to me when starting a new workout regimen asking about appropriate shoes, whether it's walking, running, biking, cycling, or a fitness class. It’s difficult for me to tell them a specific brand or this specific shoe because it depends on the patient's foot structure and how it fits their foot.
If you find a type of shoe and that particular brand and model really works well for you, I recommend sticking with it through the years.
When it comes to when you should change your shoes, usually it's between every 400 to 500 miles, which usually adds up pretty quickly if you're wearing that shoe quite a bit, so typically every 6 months to 8 months I recommend obtaining new shoe gear if you're wearing it all the time while you're working out.
If you try different shoes and continue to have foot pain, it may be time to see a foot and ankle specialist.
