is it better to get jogging shoe like hoka clifton 9 or should I try orthotic in-sole like Dr. Scholl's for cardio walking / running. so, this is for cardio, not just walking slowly for sightseeing. I want to avoid shin splint or joint pains down the line.
I would suggest you go with runnig shoes. They generay have more padding and will provide more support. This wil help greatly with joint pains.
I haven't tried the hoka clifton 9 specifically, but I've been meaning to get me some hokas, I heard they are great and pretty popular amongs runners.
It's been my experience that it's worn shoes that aggravate shin splints, so any new shoe that fits well should help. One of the reasons I wear Brooks most of the time is because their shoes help reduce my tendency to walk on the outsides of my feet (supination), which can aggravate shin splints.
The above recommendation to go to running shoe store is a good one. They'll assess your gait, speed, habits, needs, etc., and give you some options. It's a good way to learn, which you can apply to future purchases not necessarily at that store.
