The best running shoes for the top of the foot pain:
The podiatrist recommended that the best running shoes for the top of the foot pain are a little more sleek and athletic than the walking shoes.
- This may include a little less weight to the shoe.
- We still want to see features like a deep heel cup combined with the orthotics around 10-16mm.
- We want to see a slight heel-to-toe lift in the 10-12 mm range.
- We want a stiffer back to the shoe.
- We want a stiffer midsole with more cushion.
