Hi everyone
I have been off running for 2 months due to a knee injury. I visited a podiatrist who said I have flat feet and while we discussed insoles for everday use, we didn't for trainers. Do I need insoles if I have a pair of Asics Cumulus 13? - Do I need extra support for my arch as I do for everday use? (I am a neutral runner)
I am slowly doing the odd mile here and there and going to build it up.
Any advice would be appreciated and any recommendations?
Thanks

My Asics Cumulus 13's were barely used since I bought them as they offered no support for movement, just cushioning. Now I think they'll be great with my Orthotics. Wearing the shoes in now - will be on a long run with them tomorrow.
Get the orthotics right and the knee issue will all but disappear - it's usually a biomechanical issue.
AND YOU MUST STRETCH REGULARLY - running specific stretches, at different times from running.

If you overpronate, the Cumulus (without orthotics) are the wrong shoe by far - the are for an underpronator to Neutral with little structural support.
A good podiatrist would be able to give you a decent diagnosis of your biomechanics - if you have not got that, I'd recommend you find another one.

What are the real benifits between using them running insoles and regular insoles? do they have different materials or something?
