Should I buy new insoles or new shoes?
Asked 4 years ago
Am I better buying some more insoles or buying some of the shoes people mention? I see oofos, Hokkas, brooks. I am so lost with what to buy and does anyone recommend others or insole types? Would I need to wear insoles inside any of these shoes? I have very high arches that have caused my plantar fasciitis on one of my feet. Could just cry everyday as its so painful, I can't walk on it and I am only 29 and I am in Australia Brisbane.

Change your insoles about every 6 months, although it varies from person to person. If your insoles look damaged, smell, or have gone flat it's time to change. If you have plantar fasciitis, insoles are a good idea no matter what shoes you choose. Try custom-made Upstep insoles in a pair of lightweight, sturdy shoes.
