A walking device is built for low-load, single-plane use, often with a firmer and more aggressive medial post, and its shell/heel cup is shaped around a walking shoe's last. +- Debuting one during a half-marathon build on an already-irritated peroneal tendon is the wrong experiment. +- **Double support:** the shortlist shoes already provide guidance stability (GuideRails / H-Frame). A posted orthotic on top can over-correct, which pushes the foot laterally and loads the peroneals — the exact tissue that flared on Sep 13. +- A firm medial post also raises the medial side, adding lateral tension at the ankle. +- An orthotic manages where the foot lands; it cannot create dorsiflexion. The 4 cm ankle is unaffected by it. + +**If support is still needed after the shoe trial:** the fork is NOT "stability shoe + walking orthotic". It is a **custom sports orthotic made with the new running shoe in hand**, usually paired with a cushioned, more neutral shoe because the orthotic does the controlling. Different device, different shoe — do not pre-buy that path. + +**Sequence (one variable at a time):** 2–3 clean runs in the new shoes stock → only then test the orthotic on a short easy run → only if flat-foot symptoms persist after 4–6 weeks does a running-grade orthotic earn a place. + +**Bring to the fitting (2026-09-14):** ask two free questions — (a) is this device walking-grade or running-grade, (b) does it fit the Adrenaline GTS 25 / Arahi 8 without lifting the heel out of the counter. Neither answer should drive the shoe choice. + ## Open items - [ ] Measure both feet — evening, standing, heel to longest toe, use the larger, then +0.5 EU.
