This page includes a curated list of sneakers I commonly recommend to patients. Below, I break down my recommendations based on the condition being treated and shoe specifications. Keep in mind that despite the recommendation, it may not work for you. Finding the right sneaker can be a true trial and error process. It is best to consult with a professional before purchasing a sneaker.
