Comfortable shoes



Recommended Posts

I was just curious what kind of shoes y'all wear when walking? I can't seem to find any that wont hurt my feet after the third day of walking...

My first thought is to get properly measured. I wear a size 12, not fun. I wear New Balance sneakers all the time. I also wear SAS shoes and sandals. SAS are the most comfortable shoe you will ever wear but over $100. per pair. My son use to be a cook on his feet for over 12 hours a day and weighed over 400 pounds and wore the SAS shoes. They do make sneakers but I have never bought them. I live in the Boston area and New Balance is in Boston so I go to the outlet store. Reebok is 2 miles from me but I never really liked their sneakers. Nice having outlet stores near you

.Hope I helped you but getting measured is the best thing. Before I lost weight I wore a W and now a N or M.

I have a friend who works on her feet and she was having lots of shoe issues. She finely got custom dr scholls innersoles and now she just told me today that it made a world of difference. She has back problems as well and she said it really helped.

I just got a pair of Sketchers Synergy with memory foam insoles. I absolutely LOVE them! They are by far the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever owned (and I walk at least 2 miles a day).

Sketchers really looked great but they don't make size 12.

I use to wear a 9 or 9 1/2 but now I wear a 10 sometimes a 10 1/2 but I'm guessing that is weight gain. I have some Skechers and they are good but hurt after a few days. I'm going to check out the synergy shoes though :-)

I recently started running and get shine splints really easy so I decided to invest in a good pair of shoes. I got a pair of Brooks and love them! Super comfy and all different styles and price ranges!

I have the Nike Frees...love them! And if you buy them online you can customize the colors. I really like the Nikes because they are super light, but have tons of support and are like walking on clouds.

I love Nike as well, but in my experience the run narrow. Probably not good for someone with a wider foot.

Yup the frees are the best. I have wider feet from ice skates as a kid. Free is the most comfortable.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
