What are the best sport shoes?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am buying some new shoes, I can not wear heels for a year, so I should buy some supportive and good fitness shoes, as I broke my leg, not by the fall, but rather because of the unsuitable shoes I was wearing for the activity that I was doing.

I’ve heard Hoka and Kuru are good for fitness and for anyone recovering from leg injury, but I don’t like their style at all.

Here are some recommendations for supportive sport shoes that may work better for you while recovering from your leg injury:

- Nike Joyrides are really cushiony and comfortable. They have zoom Air in the heel for shock absorption which will be nice while your leg is healing. Lots of color options too so you can find something stylish.

- Brooks Ghost are supposed to be really good for overpronation too. Super shock absorbing and supportive. They look kinda dad-ish but will get the job done.

- New Balance Fresh Foam 880s are sweet. Really cushiony like the Nikes but tougher/grippier outsole for stuff like walking on trails. Lots of cool colorways.

- Saucony Ride 13 are another good supportive running shoe. Heard they work good for recovering injuries. Kinda plain look but super comfortable.

- Asics Gel-Kayano are tried and true. Heard they're really supportive if you need a cushioned shoe for longer walks/activities. Styling isn't everyone's taste but will get the job done.

Hope this gives you some better options to choose from than the Hoka and Kuru. Definitely go to a running store and try on a few pairs to see what feels best on your leg. Some cushioning and support will be important to heal up properly. Let me know if any of those catch your eye!

Thanks. I had never heard of Hoka and Kuru before reading about the Orthopedists suggesting it to everyone for a leg break recovery.

[Oliverlogan263]

You're welcome luv! And yeah, Hokas and Kurus definitely have their fans in the medical community for sure. They do offer great cushioning which can be so important when recovering from an injury like a leg break.

I've just always found their stacked heel and blobby looks a little frumpy for my taste, haha. But to each their own! If all you care about is comfort and support then they'd probably do the job well.

Maybe consider trying them on just to check how they feel support-wise, versus some of the sleeker options I mentioned. But if you're just not into the style at all, I definitely don't think you need to limit yourself strictly to those brands. All the ones I listed provide plenty of cushion too.

The main thing is finding shoes you'll actually want to wear during your recovery workouts and walks, so you stay motivated! Style plays a role in that for sure. So don't feel like you HAVE to go Hokas just cause the docs said so, feel me? You do you Queen!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Thanks 😍 I am definitely into the style too hehe

[Oliverlogan263]

No problem! Yeah looks are definitely important when it comes to kicks. I mean, you gotta feel comfortable and supported in your shoes for sure while your leg heals up. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style, you know? It's all about finding that balance.

The New Balances you mentioned would be a really solid choice I think. Those fresh foam soles are no joke, super cushiony and they've got great arch support built in. But like you said, they still look fly as hell too. I could totally see you rocking those with some cute workout leggings and a crop top, struttin' your stuff at the gym! Maybe some new Balance socks too if they have matching colors.

And the Asics Gels are always a safe bet, like you said lots of girls style them up no problem. Could dress those up with a skirt or shorts and a loose tank for a chill but put together look. Definitely save the orthopedic dad vibes for the doc, haha.

Just take your time testing out a few pairs - no need to rush into wearing them all day yet with your recovery. But it's all about feeling good inside and out, you know? You'll be healing in no time with the right shoes fueling your confidence! Keep me posted on what you decide, really hope you find the perfect balance of support and style. Later!

Determining the "best" sport shoes depends on individual preferences, needs, and the specific sport or activity. Popular brands like Nike, Adidas, and New Balance offer a range of high-quality athletic shoes tailored for running, basketball, soccer, and more. For running, shoes like the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus or Adidas Ultraboost are well-regarded. In basketball, the Nike LeBron series and Adidas Harden line are popular choices. Cross-training shoes like the Nike Free TR or Reebok Nano are versatile for various activities. Ultimately, the best sport shoes are those that provide proper support, comfort, and functionality based on an individual's unique requirements and preferences.

If you’re worried of leg injury maybe consider a type of ankle brace or leg wrap? Stretching before any work out is always recommended and helpful to keep things elastic, and operating smoothly. That joints and tendons and all can stretch to full capacity and such.

Since you mentioned footwear I simply recommend mesh shoes for breath ability. I personally struggle with the dreaded sweaty feet and caking in baking powder/foot/baby powder or odor eater pads is just not my preference lol

I did read about a particular shoe from some organic company that mentioned stability and good shock absorption, but sadly I don’t recall the brand. If I find it later I’ll update it here.

hope your foot/leg feels better! 🦶 🦵 👟

[IslaTheWitch]

It depends on the activity. As a runner, I have my favorite brands and models, but here, a lot depends on how you position your feet during a run, and shoes should help to avoid contusion and support your feet.

I like Asics and New Balance.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nice. Everyone in Broken Legs Recovery Groups advertise Hoka Bondi 8. I’ll have a try at that.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

But I like some other shoes way more. I don’t like those Hokas. But I’ll get some white or pink ones just to try on. Maybe I won’t like, I don’t know.

[IslaTheWitch]

Sometimes it's worth giving up style for comfort and health... and believe me... running shoes have all stupid colors but black...

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I found some black ones as well haha

Go and see an orthotist. Forget what they look like. It's not important. The fashion brands can be ok, but talk to someone who can tailor a shoe to your specific needs so it helps your leg's recovery instead of your social appearance.

You may find a pair of fashion brand can be used, just with an orthotic insole inside it.

Before I actually lost my leg I had a pair of orthotic sports shoes made at the hospital that had been treating me - about the only thing that didn't fuck my foot up more that they did - and they look ok 4 years later, just now they need new soles. My current prosthetist made new insoles for me after the amputation that I can use in my other shoes as well as the trainers to correct how my weight is distributed onto my natural foot so if I'm wearing jeans or long pants people complain when I use the disabled bay to park in!

It's worth doing it right for a short time so you can get your life on track in the long term.

I would recommend you trying to find a good shoe that has the right kind of arch support for you, and the right width. I generally spend about 2 to 3 hours looking for good shoes that are lightweight and durable. I have found some new brands that I enjoy because of how I evaluate every shoe I see. I am currently wearing Eddie Bauer and Saucony. They are fairly good shoes, lightweight, and they feel good. The Eddie Bauer ones are also waterproof and made for hiking. I tend to walk a lot, and buy shoes that will last me at least a year or two. Note: Neither of these shoes were cheap.

Forget Brands , that's just bullshit.
Get some realistic assistance on style and forget about the fashion statement or brand , so many great options in China , just buy AAA copies , and I'm guessing they should have major ankle support.

Off topic , but I just landed some of the best cord golf grips you've ever seen via Ali express , serious cord , incredible price.

Ones that don’t hurt your joints. Form should follow function here. Women can be really concerned with the look of their shoes. I promise you the types of men who care about your shoes as much as you do most likely want to wear them even more than you do.

^^^Am I not right about that @BlissfullyCurSed?

[love_conquers_lust]

He said “There are some men who wanna get sissified by a heterosexual women, so it is very likely.”

^^^Please disregard my previous reply

Click on the first video that you see

[NathanDavis]

I would probably, ask a nurse first... and maybe go for comfort, first...

most sports shoes are made for heavy impact use... a bit different

[DryGermanGuy]

For footwear, especially sporty footwear you should always visit a specialized shop. When I bought my running shoes I ended up with a completely different brand, because they fitted my feet the best.

[ArrowheadSW]

Sometimes it just comes down to what fits best on your particular feet. For me, New Balance seems to be a good fit.

[Anonymous]

Addidas, Puma, Nike etc
Trust me Hoka and Kuru are the worst.. they neither look good nor last long

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I know they don’t look good, I have some Puma, Nike and Adidas. But I want to buy some more than will help in the recovery process. And literally everyone said Hoka. I don’t like its style, but I am thinking to purchase a relatively nice looking pair, just to try on.

[Opinion Owner]

Well we once got our daughter a pair of Hoka and she said it was quite uncomfortable
I guess you can give it a try though

[exitseven]

I always wear New Balance. They are made in USA and come in xtra wide.

[Zestyassmf1997]

I dunno. I wear black work boots all the time.

[OddBeMe]

Velcro “Heelers” next to the wart cream at the pharmacy. I’m there everday at 2:30 before Matlock. Matlock!!!

[Bklynbadboy12]

Wait now you have to be specific do you want ankle support or do you just want a cross trainer
