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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
