I am looking for a good pair of walking shoes this week-end and was wondering what shoes are recommended. I generally don't wear athletic shoes and am clueless what to look for in a shoe. Thanks for the help

I wear New balance shoes, but there are some others out there as well. the only thing about NB is that the insoles seems to wear out and I end up putting new ones in. I heard allot just autmoaticlly change there insoles when they get new one.

Good luck and enjoy the weather

I'm fond of Asics for athletic shoes. I've tried a lot of different kinds/brands and I've found them to be the most comfortable. I like it when you step down in a shoe and it kind of springs you effortlessly forward. These do that. I think I have the "Gel Kayano" but I'm not sure.

I am more focussed on running shoes, and I also wear an orthotic, but it depends entirely on your feet. I cannot recommend Brooks shoes highly enough, but then again the Asics Kayanos are also excellent shoes but they feel like crap on my feet (they're too narrow for me), so Brooks may not suit you.

But Brooks and Asics are very good brands and will have a shoe suitable for walking.

Adidas apparently has really beefed up its line too and is no longer such a "fashion" shoe but a more serious sports shoe.

I'm fond of New Balance because I have wide feet. I spent a month at a vegan health spa that emphasized walking and they told us to buy running shoes instead of walking shoes. Better cushioning. I've also seen that the shoes in the $60-$80 range usually perform as well as the more expensive shoes.

I tend to go through shoes quickly... so I tend to look and see what's on sale.

If you have a Kohl's near you... they often have 50% off sales for sneakers.

I like NB shoes, too - I have almost flat feet and tend to overpronate, so they fit my style best. My hubby swears by asics...all shoes are good, really depends on if you overpronate, underpronate, are normal, high arch, low arch, etc. Asics are too soft for me; I need a firmer shoe...Nikes toe box is too narrow...you get the idea...

New Balance definately! And they last forever.

I'm a New Balance lover, too! I have model 926 and love them!

Ecco - pricey but worth it.

If you have a Fleet Feet near you they will fit you with a shoe that meets your demands whether you need a cushion, stability or etc. shoe. They carry Brooks, Asics, NB, Mizuno and several more brands.

I love my Ryka shoes, they feel like I am walking on air. I also have 2 pairs of Nikes, one pair is awesome, the other pair is clunky and not as comfy.

Can you please tell me how you get all your Dr and weight information under your ticket? I tried but it doesn't seem to work.

Thank-you

I would recommend going to a running store and letting them analyze your walk pattern. I did this when I had a foot injury and am now pain free! I am wearing Brooks walking shoes. The right shoe is so important!

I have been buying the New Balance walking shoes at Kohls these dare great and comfortable too they run around 50.00 but get them on sale like I have been doing they are the white ones with the pink ribbon on them for breast cancer.

I cannot get my ticker to even work

If you can afford it please please get to a store that specializes in running shoes. I went to a place called the Runners Edge. I've had issues for years with shoes. Well silly me..I've been wearing a size and a half too small! No wonder my feet were falling asleep and cramping up. Although they still do on the eleptical but I'm thinking its a different issue. Anywaysss..it's gonna run between 80-120 bucks usually..but sooo very worth it I messed up my feet from not getting the right shoes. I just had my 65 year old mom go to the same store too and she is ranting and raving over her nike's she just got. I myslef were fitted with Brooks and love them.. it's like..the fit like a dream. But they measure your walking pattern and look at alot of different things when finding the right shoe. Anyways..good luck.
