I wanted to know what kind of walking shoes that you guys use for walking exercise and I tried to use the search forum and couldn't get it to work for me. Ive used a computer for a few years and I think that I should be able to figure this one out, but every time I enter the fields and push the start search button, I get this screen that says you will be redirected bla bla bla:mad: and then it pops back the the search forum field and the fields are all blank, Is it just down or something?:angry sorry for the bad attitude!

I typed in walking shoes and got tons of threads too. I think it's all a matter of personal choice. I would check at a sporting goods store, or go online and type in walking shoes advice or something like that.

Good luck.

I really love Ryka's. They're made specifically for women's feet and they have a nice cushion to them. Try a bunch on and see what works for you.

Good Luck!

My foot Dr. put me in New Balance 1122. They have great support and a good heel cushion. I have feet issues. I got mine off ebay about half price

I love my New Balance walking shoes....they are so comfortable. For just everyday walking around it's all about Crocs. They are like walking on a pillow, but are not exercise shoes.

I highly recommend going to a good sports shoe store (Redmond Town Center has one -- Foot Zone) -- they can examine your gait as you walk and suggest a shoe for you. I personally love my Asics.

New Balance walking shoes. Available at Kohl's for a decent price. Although my Asics are the ones that have held up the longest for running. But NB are more comfy for walking.

I'm hooked on the Asics GT-2100 series. SUPER comfortable. The meshing lets your feet breathe, you can literally feel the air coming into the shoe as you walk. Downside to this, which I learned the hard way, is these aren't shoes for the rainy day!

My mother swears by Rockport but I have never tried them.

I bought my walking shoes from Academy. They are New Balance Walking Shoes and very comfortable. I do not know the style number.

Just be sure you get the ACTUAL walking shoes... I walked for 5 years in cute running shoes and couldn't figure out why I had shin splints so bad!

I got a gift cert for Foot Locker and got some Nike's. The sales people there really don't know about shoes, they just have a job. The lady kept telling me how cute they were when I told her I wanted running shoes. I like them well enough, they did nicely on a full day walking around at an amusement park and they do fine when I walk for exersize or go to the gym, but next time I spend that much on shoes I'm going to a shoe store with a sales team that knows about shoes!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
