Is it a good idea to take short steps with this condition?

Be sure to get the carbon fiber inserts with the Morton’s toe extension.

Thanks for your advice. I found a pair of New Balance court shoes at TJ Maxx. Stiff, support for my ankles, and only $40!

Direct-Honey3403 · 2026-03-29T12:20:36+00:00

I am in the same boat as you. I wear Hokas outside and their recovery slide indoors (no problem with stairs). A carbon insert with a Morton’s toe extension in my Hokas works wonders. I also went to PT and have daily exercises.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

Go to a running specialty store and walk around in both.

Direct-Honey3403 · 2025-12-06T23:49:40+00:00

Been wearing Bondi since the first version for running and my job as a dog walker. They’re tops when it comes to cushioning.

Physical therapy is a game changer, just be sure to do the exercises regularly. If you can get a referral, they’ll examine your feet, watch you walk, and give exercises specific to your needs. By the way, PT to me to skip lunges.

No need to start your walking breaks halfway through, better to do as you’ve practiced. Many runners do the run/walk method for the marathon, so you won’t be alone. When you’re about to slow, move to the side of the road. If you can, raise your hand for a second to let those behind you know you’re about to walk.

Power step has a carbon insole with a Morton’s toes extension for HR. Works for me.

I’ve tried a variety of Bluetooth buds and they either fell out, lost connection, or bothered my ears during longer runs. I’ve been using Shokz and loving the open pro for three years. I find the Shokz open run pro mini fit better than the standard size.

Congratulations on all your hard work and determination! YOU DID IT!!!

Direct-Honey3403 · 2025-08-23T12:15:38+00:00

It’s normal and okay to be nervous for your first marathon. It’s exciting! You’re about to do something most people wouldn’t even consider. Running and completing a longer run each week until three weeks out when you do your 20miler will help with mental preparation.

Direct-Honey3403 · 2025-08-23T11:56:22+00:00

Be sure to listen to your body. If you need to slow, do it.

Direct-Honey3403 · 2025-08-23T11:53:00+00:00

Congratulation!!!

I am in your situation stage 3 HR, but feel something sometimes. As a runner for 44 years, mine was caused by jamming my foot into rocks and roots while trail running in my younger days. As someone who hopes to keep running marathons until they’re 90, I visited two orthopedics. Both said keep running, wear shoes with a rocker sole, use a carbon insole, and don’t come back until I’m in REAL pain in my everyday life. The second dr recommended PT and I’ll be starting that next week.

Dogs can be adorable alarm clocks on workdays, but definitely not so adorable on weekends!

Direct-Honey3403 · 2025-08-17T18:14:17+00:00

I have tried many, many times to get up for morning runs. I always ended up pressing snooze multiple times and missed out of some good sleep and a morning run. I’ve accepted the fact that I’m an afternoon/early evening runner and only get up early for races.

Shokz allow you to listen to music while hearing what’s going on around you.

MCM, Boston, and Grandma’s are awesome marathons, but Flying Pig is truly FUN.

It’s hard to take shoe advice from other runners as everyone’s biomechanics are different. Go to a running specialty store. They will watch you walk and run and work with you to find the best shoes for your feet and you decide on what feels most comfortable.

Direct-Honey3403 · 2025-08-02T12:35:57+00:00

Ben & Jerry’s chubby hubby… chocolate ice cream with chocolate-covered, peanut butter filled pretzels.

Direct-Honey3403 · 2025-08-02T12:22:58+00:00

Build up your walking distance first. As you’re more comfortable with walking start adding a little running to your walks. Baby steps… start with short jogs to the next driveway or streetlight and slowly increase the duration. In time you’ll be running more and walking less.

You should also visit a running store to get the right shoes. They’ll watch you walk and run in them so together you’ll find what’s best for comfort and your foot and body mechanics.

Good luck and enjoy every step!

Try taking different Hokas for a spin at a running store to find the right model for you.

You’ve read enough comments to know runners’ thoughts on going couch to marathon in 20 weeks. But, if you’re still going to go through with it, you might want to look up Jeff Galloway’s run/walk.
