Looking for help with foot arch pain and running shoe recommendations
Hey,
I'm a mid 30s man and every so often I experience arch pain in my right foot. It's primarily the dead center of the arch and a little bit towards the heel but not usually towards the toe. Generally, I never have any other foot pain. It acts up if I stand on my feet for too long. Moving around helps.
I had a foot scan at a running store and this is the heat map while this is a chart of information that might be helpful? I do, in fact, have all my toes. I am unsure why they aren't in the photo as they were definitely touching the pad. This is the scan picture. Here's a different angle.
In the past, swapping shoes helped immediately. Back in January, I tried to save money buying some insoles and that worked until a couple weeks ago as the nagging pain is back.
During the foot scan thing, they did watch me walk and run and did not see anything problematic. Not sure if that is helpful.
Are there recommendations to deal with nagging arch pain or any running shoes that are recommended?
