Picking the right walking shoe isn’t about brand loyalty or cushioning feel. It’s about your foot type. And most people pick wrong.I’m Paul, a British-trained Podiatrist based in Singapore, specialising in foot and ankle pain. Every week in clinic I see patients who’ve spent months in the wrong shoe, making their pain worse — not better.In this video I’ll show you exactly which walking shoe matches your foot type, whether you supinate, overpronate, have flat feet, or high arches. You’ll also learn a 10-second at-home diagnostic test so you never have to guess again.
What’s covered:
– The 10-second worn-shoe test to identify your foot type at home
– Why your arch shape and how your foot moves are two different things
– Foot Type 1 (Supinators): Why the Hoka Bondi 9 is the top pick, and where it falls short
– The firmer alternative for heavier supinators: Mizuno Wave Rider 29
– Foot Type 2 (High but Neutral Arches): The underrated Mount2Coast H1
– Foot Type 3 (Flat Feet and Overpronation): Why soft shoes make plantar fasciitis, bunions, and PTTD worse
– The upgraded stability shoe for pronators: New Balance 860 V15
– My personal clinical favourite for flat feet: ASICS Kayano 14
