I’ve got Merrell Moab 2 GTX and they are decent and have Vibram soles as you want. There is an approach shoe version if you prefer that which is near identical, I also have those for day to day wear.

Ask your doctor explicitly if you’ve developed a bone spur or if ITS still soft tissue damage?
I am a bit suspicious of insoles fixing much though it soudns like ltos of people have had success with them has obviously had great results? But off the shelf insoles? Why don’t you get decent, softer shoes to start with? Middle aged people on minimalist shoes get injuries shocker!

@greg I would be wary that the hip flexor thing is correlation rather than causation – people doing a lot of hard miles will sometimes get sore legs and injuries , sometimes manifesting as of, sometimes hip flexors.

Iv had this too as I have flat feet and do lots of running. Like most injuries you often need to treat the cause not the symptoms.

Mine was always tight calfs that could be stretched and the problem resolved in time. During the pain I’d roll the foot on frozen water bottles and run on trails
