Higher stack v flatter (e.g. are the invincible or Hokas safer choices?)
Plated v not (e.g. is the endorphin speed a safe workout shoe)
Drop - does the amount of drop matter for navicular strew fracture avoidance?
etc.
Plus, do any specific shoes seem to be more or less correlated with stress fractures?
Looking to try all new shoes once cleared to run. thx.
I am wondering the same thing. PT suggestion high arch support insoles and shoes that are not flexible in the forefoot.

At the end of the day a shoe is not going to prevent a stress fracture from happening.
However one thing to remember is that in a high cushioned shoe, you are much less aware of what's going on with your impact with the ground. Which can lead to you overdoing it thus causing the fracture.
I personally would recommend something with 3-6 mm drop, and maybe a bit less cushion. The saucony kinvara is a good choice. Remember to be cautious in reincreasing your training load and try to avoid some mistakes you made last time.

Just get the biggest puffiest shoe with the most stack height and drop, and then put some big ass orthotic inserts in it and wear compression socks. Tie em up real tight so your foot is more like a foam brick. That should do it.
I’ve been told lower drop has relatively lower stress on the the navicular. I’ve also read on this board the Endorphin Speed 2 isn’t a good shoe choice if you are prone to foot injuries. It’s unfortunate because a higher drop and the endorphin speed are more fun.
Good luck.
I've had good luck with these.
