Shoes to Avoid if You Have Inner Knee Pain

Season 1 Episode 33 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode I’m talking about the type of shoe to avoid if you’re having (inner) medial knee pain, especially if you are bow legged.

Definitely go get a gait assessment, get fitted for the shoe and make sure you have someone tell you whether you are knock kneed or bow legged before taking this advice.

You want to avoid shoes that have a soft outer portion (lateral) side of the shoe. When someone who has medial knee pain and is bow legged and they use a shoe with a soft portion in this area it causes more pressure in the painful area.
