Arahi 6

A watch to know what pace you're running at and to see your splits, also negates the need to take a phone. A pair of proper running shoes for my gait. I currently use Hoka Arahi 6 as I'm an overpronator and they made a massive difference compared to running in stock trainers, though I should upgrade soon.

There is no such thing as best shoes for running whether you have PF or not. Everyone’s feet and biomechanics are different so the most you can do is find the best running shoes for you. This requires trial and error. You know the usual brands: ASICS, Nike, brooks, new balance, Hoka, Saucony, even Altra now. You need to look for shoes with a fairly firm sole, ideally with a rocker, wide toebox if possible, not too low a drop (6-10mm) and very little if any toe spring. Some examples to try: Hoka mach 5, ASICS gel cumulus, Altra forward experience(beware as this is 4mm), Hoka bondi 9 (easy runs), Saucony hurricane, brooks glycerin, new balance 880. You could also try the standard stability shoes from the same brands: ASICS gel kayanos 30+, gt2000, brooks adrenaline gts, Hoka arahi, new balance 860 or Saucony guide. Or you could go for neutral stable shoes coupled with insoles such as Supafeet, powerstep or currafeet pro. Main thing is you need a shoe or shoe and insole combination that reduces stretch on the fascia and attenuates load going through the fascia as your foot lands and pushes off. Great website for coming up with options: www.runrepeat.com Having said that, you need to carefully manage any running whilst you have PF. Pushing beyond pain of 3/10 during or up to 24 hrs afterwards will likely prolong your recovery and/or make your pain worse maybe to point you will have to stop running completely for a long time. You are also at risk of tears or a rupture which are distinct possibilities if you continue to strain the fascia beyond its capacity. Note that there is usually no warning beforehand, it just happens suddenly seemingly out of the blue. Best thing to do is consult with an experienced podiatrist and sports physio for the best way to manage and rehab this condition and you can also pose the question of whether you can safely continue to run or not.

Start with stability shoes since you have got knock knees they help control pronation. Check out ASICS Gel-Kayano, New Balance 860, or Brooks Adrenaline (all offer wide sizes and solid support). HOKA Arahi is great if you want max cushioning without losing stability. Try them on in-store late afternoon (feet swell), walk a bit and consider a firm orthotic if you need extra correction. Worth paying a bit more for fit it saves your knees and lasts longer.

All 3 are quite narrow shoes so I wouldn’t recommend them. Supernova rise 2 wide toebox pero narrow sa mid. I’d recommend you get a free gait analysis sa kung san pinakamalapit sayo. But if di kaya, general reco ko is New Balance 1080, Hoka Arahi, Asics Novablast or Gel Nimbus, or Nike Pegasus or Structure. You don’t have to buy the latest model of the shoe if you’re on a budget. Kahit may Asics Novablast 5 na, I still recommend Novablast 4 to my friends kasi okay din naman tas mas mura or nakasale lagi kasi older version.

​ I'm a larger person. 300 lbs. And I've started to run again. plus I bike a lot my last 4 shoes have been Hoka Bondi. But the latest gave me some nasty blisters. they may be a little too large and I've been able to run a few times since and not get too bad of a blister, but they're not quite right. they're also older and probably are starting to be past their expiration date. I went in looking at the Clifton and I guess I was told my feet were rolling in or pronating. My wife thought I was rolling out, although she was talking more about how my feet point out as you'll see in the video. Anyways, the lady at the store recommended arahi, adrenaline or another stable shoe over a Clifton or even a bondi. I had tried the beast from Brooks before but I didn't like how flat they felt when in them and they felt heavy. not sure if the advice is good about not touching bondi again and to do something like arahi. any heavy runners have recommendations? I have super wide feet and I think my instep is pretty high so some shoes that have a low profile on the top feel too tight.

Update: they had me try adrenaline gts from brooks. I feel pretty good but I'll see on my first run. I did try arahi and they were good but these fit better and there was a pressure point on the outside midsole on the arahi that I don't get in the brooks. The employee also told me the back looked a little tight. Like my heel was too wide for the shoe by a little Also, I tried a new balance 880 I think. But they didn't have my width so I would have had to order. The problem with it was the one I tried was larger but found the back too cushiony on the heel and was worried with my weight it might not stand up. Last I did try the kayano but it was too tight around my foot and the tongue felt too tight for my liking. Nothing else in stock in my size that was wide width.
