foot pain

[boxingsmash69]

my foot has gotten considerably worse, i took last week off training, kept a bandage on it in front of the pain and it started feeling better, then i went to training last night, and as i sprang off my feet into a different position the pain came again in a huge rush and now i cannot walk again

should i go back to the doctor or does anyone know of anything i can buy at a pharmacy that may help? will the bandage help? theres a tournament on june 13th and i will kill myself if i cant fight at it

i was told by a mate to soak my foot in a tub of hot salt water, im doing that now, will that help?

what kind of shoes did you wear?

what exact kind of sneakers? and brand/model?

are they cross training shoes?

maybe you should look into some Asics or New Balance cross training shoes. I myself use Asics, and I surely noticed a difference between cross trainers and running shoes when used for lateral movements. it's much more comfortable and easier making side/lateral movements in cross trainers.

Go to an athletic shoe shop and have them measure your arch and find out if you pronate or supanate do your feet lean inward or out ward and have them pick out some shoes that tend to be helpful for your feet.

they dont really make shoes for pronaters or supanaters persay but if you find an experienced sales person that measures your arch they can say that you have a size 14 arch but you wear size 13 shoes so you have a long arch so you would need more support or vice versa and will know which shoes are better suited like some might have extra support like plastic in the arch part of the shoe, one shoe has thicker sole in the arch part then the other maybe one shoe has a really large insole. but you dont need to know this your sales person does all you really need to say is i want to know if i pronate or supanate and what kind of shoes are suited for me that you have.

id say expect to spend 90$ for good shoes 150$ for really good shoes and 60$ for ok shoes but some times the 60$ shoes are the most comfortable for you and after sorting through what is best for your feet you should go with whats most comfortable.
