I just got off the phone with an elite athlete recently who asked a great question.
He called me and said, "I have custom orthotics and I know they support my foot better. So the question is, can I use a broader range of shoes?"
What he really wants to know is whether or not he can ONLY use motion control shoes.
He was really asking, "Since I have an unstable foot that's now stabilized by the custom orthotic supporting the foot, does that mean that I can wear shoes other than something like a true motion control shoe?"
Can I wear softer shoes when running with a custom orthotic?
Well, that's a great question, and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
