Walkers and runners with low volume feet may need both a shoe that is narrow and one that has less room overall. Shoes with too much room can lead to blisters and black toenails. While those with a low volume foot can wear thicker socks to help fill the extra space, they should look for shoes that give them a better fit. These models are recommended by Dave Sobolik, a shoe fit expert.
1. Asics Gel DS Trainer

Style: Lightweight Trainer. This lightweight trainer is excellent for those who want speed and flexibility. It is a nice low-profile shoe with a morenarrow and low volume fit.
2. Mizuno Inspire

Style: Moderate Stability. The Mizuno Inspire gives a more narrow fit through the mid-foot back to the heel. It tends to fit a lower volume foot better than most other stability shoes in that moderate stability category.
3. Mizuno Alchemy

Style: Motion Control. The Mizuno Alchemy is not the most narrow nor the lowest volume, but in the motion control category, this still has the slimmest fit when compared to others until you start tweaking the width selections.
