👣 Top 5 Walking Shoes for High Arches & Supinated Feet If you have a high arch or a supinated foot, these are my go-to walking shoes for comfort and support: 1️⃣ Brooks Ghost Max 2/3 – Amazing if you get big toe or forefoot pain. 2️⃣ Asics Gel Nimbus 27 – Plush cushioning to offload your heel and forefoot. 3️⃣ New Balance 1080 – Perfect if you need shock absorption and a soft ride. 4️⃣ Nike Vomero – Cushy and smooth into toe-off, but size up for the narrow toe box. 5️⃣ Brooks Ghost – Lightweight, neutral, and comes in wide 2E and 4E options. High arches need shoes that absorb shock and protect your forefoot during long walks. These five are my favourites for daily comfort and durability. Which of these have you tried? 👟 #paulthepodiatrist #walkingcomfort #higharches #supinatedfeet #footpain #brooksrunning #asicsnimbus #newbalance1080 #nikevomero #walkinginsingapore #footcaretips #plantarfasciitisrelief #heelpain #forefootpain #orthotics #healthyfeet #singaporepodiatrist #podiatrytips #foothealth #comfortableshoes #supportiveshoes #archsupport

Soft ≠ Supportive. Here’s why. They look comfy. They feel comfy. But are they actually helping your feet? If you’re dealing with: ❌ Plantar fasciitis ❌ Achilles pain ❌ Ankle sprains …those extra-cushy soles might be doing more harm than good. The key? Choose footwear that supports, not just cushions. ✅ Not all soft shoes are bad ✅ But not every foot needs softness 👟 Ask a podiatrist what’s right for your feet. Save this post if you’re shoe shopping soon or tag someone who swears by their soft shoes! #PodiatristTips #FootHealth #PlantarFasciitisRelief #ShoeAdvice #FootPainHelp #SoftShoes #RunningShoes #PodiatristApproved #FootCareMatters #PaulThePodiatrist

😫 Heel pain ruining your mornings? This simple taping technique might be your game-changer. The real damage to your plantar fascia happens during the day, not when you’re asleep. And every step you take is adding fuel to the fire. 🎯 Here’s how this taping method supports your arch, offloads pressure, and helps you wake up with less pain. All you need is some tape and 2 minutes a day. 📦 Save this for tomorrow morning, and send it to someone who limps to the bathroom every day 👣 Thanks to my model @katdfabulous #heelpain #plantarfasciitis #footpain #tapingtechnique #podiatristtips #archsupport #morningswithpain #rehabathome #painrelief #runnertips #standingallshift #teacherlife #nurselife #fitover40 #barefootsucks #foothealthmatters #singaporehealth #posturematters #tendonhealth #paulthpodiatrist

💰 Cheapest plantar fasciitis shoe… or a hidden trap? I found this $50 Jackshibo wide toe box shoe and thought it was perfect for plantar fasciitis. Super sturdy, wide base, loads of support. But there’s a catch: it’s zero drop. Tight calves plus zero drop can mean potential plantar fasciitis flare-up. ✅ The fix? Heel raises from Amazon to add some drop and save your fascia. Overall, impressive bang for your buck if you tweak it right. 👣 Follow me for Part 2 and 3 where I test more budget-friendly plantar fasciitis shoes! #PlantarFasciitis #FootHealth #BudgetShoes #WideToeBox #Jackshibo #Podiatrist #AmazonFinds

Stop buying shoes that hurt your feet! 🛑 Take out the insole, stand on it, and check: 👣 Is there a thumb’s width in front of your longest toe? 👣 Are your feet spilling over the edges? If yes, it’s time to size up or find a wider fit. Share this with someone who needs to hear it! 💡 Comment “shoe list” below to join the waitlist for my Shoe Master Sheet and find the perfect fit for YOUR feet. #FootHealth #ShoeShoppingTips #FootPainRelief #PodiatristTips #WrongSizeShoes #PaulThePodiatrist #HealthyFeet #ShoeSizeMatters #SingaporePodiatrist #footcaretips

Don’t ignore this mistake if you have type 2 diabetes. ⚠️ Tingling, numbness, or burning in your feet? It could be peripheral neuropathy, one of the most serious complications of type 2 diabetes. I enjoyed my collab with Dr Cagney and I hope you did too! 👉 High blood sugars over time damage the nerves in your feet and hands. Smoking and low B12 can worsen the problem. ✅ The number one step is to keep your sugars in check and aim for an A1C below 7%. But don’t stop there. See a podiatrist for regular nerve checks and foot care to catch problems early. If your feet feel different lately, drop a comment below and let us know what you’re experiencing.

👉 Comment “Assess” below and I’ll send you my full video on YouTube showing you exactly how to test your shoes for plantar fasciitis. The biggest mistake people make buying shoes for plantar fasciitis is thinking softer is better. I walked into a golf shop and got shown the softest, flimsiest shoes for my plantar fasciitis which is completely wrong. Want to know how to pick the right shoes instead? Comment “Assess” below and I’ll show you exactly how to assess shoes for plantar fasciitis and share some of my top choices for this condition in the video. #PlantarFasciitis #FootHealth #ShoeTips #GolfShoes #FootPain #Podiatry #HealthyFeet #shoeshopping

⚠️ Waking up with Achilles pain? READ THIS. If I woke up with Achilles tendinopathy tomorrow, here’s exactly what I’d do: 1️⃣ Get shoes with a high heel-to-toe drop and a firm heel counter for proper support. 2️⃣ Avoid flat shoes like the plague—they’ll make things worse. 3️⃣ Start slow, progressive eccentric calf raises. Begin on the floor, then progress to a step as it gets easier. 🚨 Morning stiffness in your Achilles tendon could be an early warning sign of tendinopathy. Don’t ignore it. 👉 Follow me for more foot health tips to keep you moving pain-free!

I think this sneaker, the New Balance 990, is by far my favourite sneaker for my patients—here’s why! 👟✨ In Singapore, I see a lot of people with hypermobile flat feet who struggle with pain. When looking for a supportive sneaker, options can be limited. That’s where the New Balance 990 shines: ✅ Firm medial heel & ankle support → Helps reduce excess pronation 🔄 ✅ Deep toe box → Easily fits custom orthotics without cramping 🦶 ✅ Wide & stable base → More shoe contact = better stability ⚖️ ✅ D-width but spacious → Soft upper = comfy fit 🏆 Oh, and while I love the style, I’m no fashionista—I’m just Paul the Podiatrist. 😆 Would you rock these?
