| Foot surgery 2 years ago. Yoga beginner in January 08. Hatha. Love it. My podiatrist said I really should wear an athletic shoe with my orthotic inserts. I didn't have a stress fracture, thankfully, but a lot of stress wear on my instep and ankle. Any recommendations for shoes? When I struggle with a position, it is my feet that are the problem.  | |

| Shoes should be as recommended by Surgeon or by an experienced private teacher, not a general opinion from the internet. Exercise to be done with foot should also be learnt privately.

| As Neel so accurately points out, these sorts of things are specific to the person, foot, issue, and practice and need to be cultivated in person. | |

| Yes, you are correct, and I am very pleased that my podiatrist who also did the surgery recommended that I wear an athletic shoe with my insert. He and I had a good discussion that there are no yoga specific shoes and that athletic shoes might be too clunky. Regardless, my foot instep needs that support so I will wear my power walking shoes that are also orthopedic approved. I left this info out to be efficient in my original request.
Does anyone know of a shoe that fits this need that is working for them? I can also run that by my foot specialist. Thanks so much for your guidance and concern. | |
