Dr. Biernacki’s Recommended Products
Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoe
⭐ Highly Rated
Neutral cushion running and walking shoe — excellent all-around choice for patients with plantar fasciitis or general foot fatigue.
Dr. Tom says: “Brooks Ghost is one of the most versatile and widely recommended athletic shoes in podiatric practice. The neutral cushion platform works for most foot types, and the DNA Loft foam provides reliable shock absorption. Great for patients transitioning from worn-out footwear.”
Plantar fasciitis, neutral-to-mild pronation, general foot fatigue, long-distance walking or running
Significant overpronation — consider Brooks Addiction or Adrenaline GTS instead
