Great video! Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you
A pleasure 🙏
I'm an old guy, with nerve and bone problems with my feet. I just bought a pair of New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4. Supportive, and the most comfy shoe I've ever worn. Like walking on pillows! 😮✌️
Great shoe 👌
Initially I like the shoe feel like you walking on clouds but it didn't last for me after one month the shoe start leaning
@Det1911 same here, after 2 months the soles are leaning and worn down to the foam.
They’re not known for their durability and that is one of the reasons they’re not on our recommendation list.
Thank you for the video. Just my 2 pence worth, consider getting some lighting and acoustic foam, this will make your future videos much better
Thanks for the tips and comment 🙏
Hi James, thanks for the video! What shoe whould you recommend for long city walking? I walk around 25000 steps a day. My only requirement is good heel drop and cushinging.
Any of the shoes I discuss with high heel drop should have sufficient cushioning
Hi James, what's the best shoe for overweight (270 lbs) for walking and with lots of cushion to reduce impact. thanks
Am confused i thought higher heel drop is better for metartarsal pain or mortons neuroma - but are you saying its better to have lower heel drop so that there isnt such a higher cushioning at the back of the shoe? I'm trying to find support for morton's neuroma , slight overpronation and support for ankles for achiclles tendon issue - which trainers would you recommend?
minimalist shoes and a very high heel drop = higher forefoot plantar pressure
6-8 mm is the grey area
forefoot rocker reduces forefoot load
@@james_mccormack thank you for the reply! Do you mean 6-8mm heel drop is not so good as this will give hiher forefoot plantar pressure? I was looking at the Asics GT-2000 12 trainers which has 8mm heel drop designed for neutral to overpronation. Is that heel drop on the Asics GT-2000 12 too high for forefoot plantar pressure? Or perhaps the Hoka Arahi 7 is better suited with a 5mm heel drop as a stability shoe?
It's hard to give a specific opinion as some features in shoes help with different aspects but its only part of the equation. Foot shape, stuctural limitations and alterations in gait all contribute and this is where an assessment is truely helpful for direct advice.
They are both excellent shoes. We normally recommend a wide shoe with a forefoot rocker for conditions like morton's neuroma
Hi James. How do I know if I need Neutral shoes or stability and so on? I am a long distance runner . Great video. Thanks
Best for sciatica?
Thanks for video. What would be the best shoes for someone with flat feet who needs to go on a long walk?
Thanks for your message. I cover this in the video.
Hi , thank you for the info you put out . I wanted to know which shoes do you recommend for me having flat feet but also has plantar fasciitis? I have try different shoes claiming to be great for the plantar fasciitis but after a week or so I’m still in pain whenever I get up after sitting a while my left feet shoots pain in my heel and it’s hard to walk it off after a while walking back and forth I have pain in my feets knees and lower back I’ve seen a podiatrist he gave me brands to buy from but it’s been hard for me he said the shoes can’t roll up has to be only the the toes part of the shoes bent if you have any suggestions it would be great I don’t wanna keep spending and no results
Hi we have specific videos on this
I have lower arches and real wide feet. Need good stability, what do you recommend. I was leaning toward brooks beast, I’m a big guy almost 300 pounds.
Did you ever end up buying new shoes?
Not yet
Hello James, I'm hyper mobile which means i've flat feet & custom orthotics, Ive read that a supportive shoe could make me over correct? How do I find a shoe thats rigid enough to support my ankles but not going to cause me to overcorrect?
We often recommend the ghost or adrenaline to our patients with orthotics due to the firm sole
Great video! I walk 3 hours a day which one fir wider feet?
Thank you - there is a section on shoe fit in the video 👌
Can you recommend the best shoes if i have lower back pain , knee pain and heel pain
Sorry I create educational content and as a result I can’t provide direct medical advice
My podiatrist told me I should be wearing a running shoe with an important heel drop (I have flat feet and I overpronate) with the back of the shoe being rigid so my ankle doesn't move too much. What would you recommend?
I discuss both of these in the video
I want foam waking and all the day on foot shoe. My foot arch hurts me if I wear any arch support shoes or any shoes that has arch mate. I feel comfortable with shoes that are flat. Which shoe you recommend for me please?
Thanks for your message - I cover cushioning in the video.
I've been an Asics guy my whole adult life. Mainly Cumulus. I underpronate a little so I need a somewhat stable shoe. I am looking for a different brand because Asic's quality has gone down the toilet the past 5 years or so. None of my pairs last more than a year (if that). A hole in the mesh in the toe area always forms. I'm strictly just a walker. I've been eyeing the Hoka Gaviota 5. Thoughts?
The Gaviota is a great stable shoe that runs a bit tighter in the toe box than Asics
For supinate step what shoe work better?
Unfortunately I can’t provide direct advice
is an 8 mm drop to much for a metatarsil bursitis injury?
it is quite a lot, the hoka clifton 9 in a wider fit may help ease your pain. It's 4mm drop with a thicker midsole.
but see his other videos, it was in his video of metatarsalgia shoes
Hi James, I’m a dog walker I walk about 6-10 dogs a day 30 per dog. I can’t find a shoes that works best for me could you recommend a shoe for me to try?
Have your tried any from the video?
Best shoe for those with instep pain?
We have a video on shoes posterior tibial tendonitis that covers this
Can you do a video for the best walking shoes under $99 because.... I can't even. They are all clear outside my budget.
Will do over the next month 👍
Skechers! They have a great cushioned walking shoe
Is the NB 860 an evolution of the older 856 & 857 or a different shoe on its own?
Different shoe but some of the same stability features
@@james_mccormack If you don't mind, 860 vs 880 for 90 minute daily pavement walks?
@@alanhamford2538 The 860 is a stability shoe and the 880 is neutral so it comes down to how much support one feels they need
What about on cloud?
Good shoe - narrow fit
Forgive me , but your accent was a bit strong for me to understand the first shoe title. 🙂
I see the link you created thanks 🙏🏻
We also have subtitles👍
These all seem to be called walking shoes. I thought these recommendations were walking shoes?
All of these shoes are appropriate for walking.
I just walk in my nb 574 best shoe for me 🫡
