Hello there and greetings,
due to ankle deterioration [/font]in past year I don't walk so much now or as fast. Nonetheless I am going Israel soon and will do some gentle hiking, trails, hills and mountains.
I am using karrimor plus ride running shoe, I think I paid £35-40.
As I write this, I think I know where I went wrong.
I used Nike Pegasus running shoes for walking for 15 years with no problems.
Due to money problems since 2 years ago I switched to Karrimor cheaper range. I noticed they were just too light and that is why my ankles have gotten worse in past year.
My finances are very healthy now, I leave Israel next week...what do you advise? Running shoes with air all along soles or can you suggest something more suitable?
I have premature osteo arthritis on knees and they don’t feel very strong.
I read that if shoes are heavy with thicker soles, the ankles will atrophy and I won’t notice when I step on a rock until it is too late....if I wore chunky c l a r k s shoes, perhaps the stiffer sole would not benefit me? . Would the latter be ok for daily use in London?
Your kind advice much appreciated,
Thank you!
