What are the best walking shoes for ankle pain?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Whatever feels best: For arthritic conditions, a shoe with a cushioned heel and rocker sole such as a running shoe work well. For unstable ankles, a shoe with a broader base and more ankle support (light weight hiking boot). Ultimately, whatever shoe produces the least amount of pain is a good choice.

No best: There is no best walking shoe. You need to try them on and walk around the store to see how they feel. You may want to try a hi-top over the ankle shoe for extra ankle support.
