Introduction: Why This Matters

Dear readers, patients, and fellow sneakerheads,

You asked—and here it is: the long-awaited Addendum to my original Sneaker Testing Blog, now expanded with new sneakers that have entered my rotation and undergone real-world testing.

As a former professional athlete, orthopedic surgeon, and sports medicine specialist, I’ve tested sneakers for performance, support, comfort, and wearability, especially focusing on those suitable for flat feet, aging joints, and sports injury prevention.
