I went to see a podiatrist almost 20 years ago and she assessed my feet and got me into orthotics, which did cost a bit but now have doubled in price.... I do rockjumping and trekking as sport and require certain types of 5mm < drop sneakers.... over the past 4 or 5 years I have been developing knee pain and have seen several podiatrist and also been to physiotherapy a couple of times which the physio seems to help a little bit, but is hard to maintain. But what I have been finding, through my own observation, that as sneakers have been advancing and the technology improving in terms of midsole foam, in order to get them more responsive and yet a little softer, such as Skechers Hyperburst, or Asics Flighfoam and Flighfoam plus, and Hoka's Profly foams, and similar phone's like Nike react and Adidas ultraboost, the bulk at the back of the orthotics, which is meant to straighten your foot and keep it up, actually forces down into the mid sole foam causing creasing in the inner heel, crushing the foam down digging into it, and not only prematurely wearing it out in 1 to 2 months, and destroying these very expensive shoes, but then causing you to overpronate at the heel putting a lot of strain on your knee.... and this makes the overpronation much more worse and I'm trying to do away with the orthotics now bit-by-bit, because it is very hard to stop using them particularly after so long and needs to be a gradual but I must say my knee is already feeling podiatrist do not tell you of these things can expect you to accommodate the orthotics to buy very firm shoes which maker running and sports like mine on top of that, my particular podiatrist will not admit that the orthotics are doing this, when it is plain to my recommendation is as much as it is possible to stay away for orthotics because as the guy in this video says they are only a crutch and if you want to own and run in high-end sneakers, it will not be I will give these exercises ago now as well as I continue to transition off my but if there is no pain and you can still walk and run and do other exercises without orthotics and you do some what overpronate, I would not necessarily rush out there and try to fix it with although my podiatrist is very stubborn, my physiotherapist said he does not usually recommend orthotics but rather shoes that very lightly correct overpronation f it is causing pain or a problem; but if it isn't, is it really necessary to fix

Could this be a problem from imbalanced hip adductors/abductors? Because when i activate my adductors, slightly twisting my legs inwards my feet naturally go from supination to neutral.

Unfortunately, this seems to leave out people who both have flat feet/low arches, but who supinate. It seems to link high-arches to being the cause of over supination.

[hugomarquez]

What kind of shoes should I wear (I supinate)? I wear an insole that supports my high arch, which works well to limit the excessive movement of my foot (supinating and pronating), but this insole only works on my old Brooks Ravenna 11s, which has guiderails. These are the only shoes I ever worn that haven’t worn out on the outer heel. I’ve tried the new Brooks Launch GTS (which replaced Ravenna), didn’t work. I tried the same Ravenna but a size that better matches the insole (the old ones I have are a size bigger, so the insole sometimes slips), didn’t work. I tried more neutral Brooks Dyad 11, ASICS GT 2000 10, nothing works. I have to go back to my old shoes, which aren’t gonna last forever. I donated some shoes to charity, I’ll return some others, but I really need to know a shoe I can wear, since otherwise my whole body goes into misalignment and then I have back pain and piriformis syndrome within days. It’s extremely frustrating.

[leeingram]

Have you got a link to the insole to help stop the weight going on the outside of my feet too much please?
Are there any on amazon as I live in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great video thanks.
I have this exactly on my right foot and it causes right side ankle pain and upper thigh muscle pain.
Can you recommend a store bought insole for me to try? Because there are so many I need to know the exact one for this condition in the right foot. I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again.

[divinekorie]

hey naturally when I walk/run my feet under-pronate but I don't have a high arch. Actually a couple of my doctors have said I have a low arch. How would I go about finding the right insoles and shoes to accommodate my unique case?

[koostory]

I’m flat feet and supinated 😢 any suggestion?

[aoldfolk]

I have severe supination, its so hard to find support and info on long term solutions to this.

[gregorypetka]

with me, i think i devolped Supination due to protecting my decades battle against Plantar Facitis and Fallen Arches, that doctor never diagnosed for 40 years ago after running track and Marines.

[AkashYadav-dvpm]

hi I have a standing job of 8 hrs or so and my arch region of both foot pains badly so please could you suggest some advice on this

[vidofficial]

i have ankle supination, 10° knee valgus, weak glutes muscles and hard to deep squat... is it possible to correct all this with excercise

[sl]

Can over-supination cause Peroneal Tendonitis?

[clray]

What is the biomechanic cause? I only have this problem in the right foot and don't want to wear any orthotic inlays (or shoes for that mater). I'd prefer some corrective exercises.

I don't have any bone pains, but the outer sole and the small toe rubs too much and gets irritated. There also seems to be side effects in the entire leg, with muscles on the inner side of the thigh getting "stuck" and "unstuck" (weird, although not painful, sensations of sliding or release) and the area above the outer knee getting slightly achy sometimes. My left leg doesn't experience any discomfort.

[bernando]

Does this affect sprinting times? are you at a disadvantage because your foot over supinates?

[Joe-guoe]

After a short while, before soles begin to wear, the front and outside of my feet tend to overlap the soles of my shoes. The foot doctor told me I needed a lateral flare and where I could have this done. I have great hopes. My question is; will this extra thickness added by the shoe expert, also prevent my toes from jamming against the end of my shoes? This takes about 30mins to an hours walk to happen. I also have neuropathy and, need compression socks. My  mind says, no matter what, it can be fixed. (if I tighten my shoes like a normal person, when my feet swell, they are too tight).

[CSWells-uqjx]

I have a weird issue where I over pronate on my left foot( which is giving me shinsplints and tendinitis on that side.) and I over supinate on my right leg, which is giving me IT band issues on that leg. Can I mix and match orthotics?

[greenghost]

I have wide supinated feet. It ruins my shoes and my ankles hurt. I also just can't move as fast as others. Even when I was a kid I'd always lose foot races.
