Orthotic or Shoe issue

1 watcher

Hills of Death (HOD) Apr 2016 9:53am, 22 Apr 2016 32157 posts	0 Hills of Death (HOD) I've been told to try a different orthotic by my podiatrist which is Biosoft although after the initial 'blistergate' I got the right size it does feel more comfortable but I'm now feeling it a bit in calf. Pre Manchester marathon calf went I thought it was because of my shoes I got rid of Pegasus and a few others that I identified could be causing the problem. But it's a bit of mystery what is causing the issues I'll keep rollering until I find it

He's a bit worried about my calves if I run further but I told him there's no chance of that. Would a new podiatrist be the answer?

I wear Brooks Ghost wide fitting trainers which are about 1 1/2 sizes too big and seem to have plenty of room for my dodgy feet.

Got something to say?
