What to ask a podiatrist?

My podiatrist concurs that SAS, Merrell and Hoka running shoes are the best. It is hard to fit Sketchers and they don't hold up. SAS for dress up, Merrils for gardening and Hokas for the grocery store. My feet like the change of presure points and the solid support. These brands are expensive and of course are not covered by insurance but they last. Good shoe stores measure your feet.

I love your podiatrist's shoe recommendations! Those choices are mine also, after several years of experimentation. SAS shoes provide great comfort and support without appearing "orthopedic". They are expensive, but worth it. I add Dr. Scholl's massaging gel inserts for extra cushioning. The hard soles and arch support in Merrells are great for protection when walking on uneven ground. The Hokas provide good cushioning and support for walking such as when trying to walk for exercise.
