I had custom orthotics made and was told that I should wear a running shoe with less motion control/stabilizers in them because you can overcorrect. You have a brand new foot after this surgery, so you need to look at a different type of shoe now. I had neutral shoes so that my orthotics would provide just the level of correction I needed, no more. But I played around with not wearing an orthotic in my surgery foot, having that orthotic adjusted, etc. I found it painful to have too much correction. My other foot was having issues (just had surgery on that one 2 wks ago), so it was tricky finding anything that worked. I didn't do it for long because of my other foot.

But, yes, you do want to look at buying shoes differently now. You are able to supinate and do a more regular motion, whereas before you just pronated. It's a shift in thinking now that you have a fixed up foot!

Good luck finding the right pair!
