    I fractured by distal fibula and tibia in august and have just been told by my physio that it's time to thinking about running and stepping up the gym training again.

    I asked him to recommend a good shoe and he just said get something with good arch support. My last shoes were Nike Pegasus which I picked up in tkmaxx for 30 quid. I was never an avid runner but I was in the gym everyday before the break so a training/running shoe is what I'm looking for.


    Unfortuntley there isn't any sports shops near me that do gait analysis. Also I should add my injury wasn't caused by anything sports related and is stabilised by plenty metal.

    That was intentional, I'd rather not share that.

    Sports shop wise we have lifestyle sports, elverys and champion. The elverys doesn't do gait analysis though as I know most do.

    I'm open to buying online.

    Firstly,Id recommend getting gait analysis done properly.I drove an hour each way to have it done.
    Secondly,if you dont want to do that,then google "Shoes with good Support" and away you go:eek: This is NOT a recommendation btw.

    We don't need your exact address, the nearest city would do i.e. Galway, Cork, Cashel, Bray etc

    You'll probably have to go into Dublin, I don't know of any shops in your area, and nothing is listed in the shop directory.

    Another idea is buying insoles from a decent pharmacy. Good ones made from foam and a proper moulded/curved shape work wonders IMO. Check them out carefully before buying though.
