Accessory Navicular syndrome is a condition that affects a small proportion of the general population, but for those who have it, it can be painful to walk and stand. Risk factors for accessory navicular syndrome are a flat foot or poor foot control. Exercises and appropriate footwear are two of the most effective forms of treatment for Accessory Navicular Syndrome. In this article, we will share the best shoes for Accessory Navicular Syndrome based on our clinic experiences with patients.

Best Shoes for Accessory Navicular Syndrome
The Best Shoes for Accessory Navicular Syndrome are stability shoes with a moderate medial arch height and responsive cushioning. A stability shoe has a medial posting that helps to control excess pronation moments that can place excess pressure on the medial arch of the foot. In contrast, the moderate medial arch height helps by providing additional support under the accessory navicular. Finally, the responsive cushioning protects the navicular from excess impact.
Best Shoes for Accessory Navicular Syndrome
We recommend the Sketchers Arch Fit for Accessory Navicular Syndrome due to the cushioned sole, insole support and knit mesh fabric.
The cushioned sole along with the medial arch support of the insole helps to cushion the accessory navicular while reducing the strain on the medial arch of the foot.
The mesh fabric facilitated a flatter foot without the friction of a more rigid fabric.
