When experiencing periostitis, periosteal irritation or shin pain, choosing the right shoe is highly individual. The affected area, the shape of your foot and your doctor’s recommendation are important factors.
If there are no medical reasons against it, shoes with good cushioning, stable support and a pressure-free fit may be suitable. 👟
What should you look for when choosing shoes?
The following features may be important:
- good, soft cushioning
- a secure and stable footing
- the correct shoe width
- no pressure on the painful area
- soft, flexible upper material
- removable footbed for your own orthopaedic insoles
- secure heel support

Can GIESSWEIN shoes treat periostitis?
No. Our shoes are not medical or orthopaedic therapeutic products. We therefore cannot guarantee that a particular model will relieve symptoms or be suitable for every type of periostitis.
Our recommendations relate exclusively to the cushioning, fit, shoe width and wearing comfort of our shoes.
