Hi, everyone. I am going to buy a new pair of sneakers tomorrow and I need some suggestions. Right now I have a pair of Fila " shape ups " when I first got them they were the best. Now though my feet hurt so bad when I walk. I know most of its due to the weight I gained in the last 4 mths ( quit my battle with cigarettes ) there are so many out there. How do I decide aside from trying them all on!

I have to buy Sketchers, they are comfortable when you put them on, you dont have to break them in. I have tried Nike, Reebok, etc but they all hurt my feet. Good luck

That's funny that you said Sketchers because my hubby just bought a pair and said they are the best pair of sneakers he ever wore! I am going tomorrow so i will def check them out. Thanks!

I am a skechers girl, always have been. They are soooo comfy, high thick soles for low impact when walking. Oh, don't forget stylish. I may be old, but I am rockin my kicks!! LOL

ohhh, I always buy them at www.shoebuy.com

You can always find a coupon and save big time, and the shipping is always free!!!

I find all my coupons at: www.retailmenot.com

My hubs and I are New Balance folks. We have a New Balance store in our area and we go there. They measure your foot, check where you put the most weight and recommend what would work for you. We walk on a trail at night about 2-3 miles and bike ride 6 miles with these - never had a problem with them.

I would recommend finding a local running/walking store as they are trained to watch gate, etc and find you a shoe based on that.

Thanks girls. On my way to the store now to find a pair!

Patty. Thanks for the websites. I am going to check them out!

I put on 20 lbs, and have been experiencing a lot of pain when walking. Turns out that I developed bone spurs. The podiatrist told me to get a pair of New balance sneakers.
