Suggestions on sports shoes with plainest possible soles to start hitting the gym (and a reminder to keep checking your Vitamin D)
M38. Some time back, broke my femur while playing cricket. Turns out my Vit.D was almost nonexistent for idk how long. My bones were so brittle that during the 5-hour surgery, a big piece broke off so the fracture was now at 2 places. Followed by a long road to recovery, it turned out that my operated leg is now longer than my other leg by a whole .9 inches. After weeks of searching in Hyderabad, I finally found a cobbler who can cut the sole of shoes, put a 1 inch semi-hard sole and glue the bottom sole back. His only condition was, I have to get sports shoes that have a simple sole. No gel, no designer sole, nothing that he can't cut clean through to put the extra sole. So need suggestions on simple sports shoes that I use to start jogging slowly. Have attached a pic of Adidas shoes that I have currently for my daily usage. Budget is about 5-6k. If I'm able to get 2 for about 7k, that too works. TIA!
