Brooks Brooks Brooks all the way. I wear the Adrenaline, I have wide, flat slightly inward rolling feet - which would fit the description of the feet of many heavy people - and they are brilliant running shoes. I am on my 5thor 6th pair.

But really, itsd impossible for anyone else to advise. Different shoes fit different people and whilst I would certainly have some derisive things to say about NB shoes that's based only on my feet and my experience. I know Asics are good shoes too but I find them way too narrow and not good for me at all. I think NB, Brooks, Asics are all well made good quality shoes though. Generally, with shoes, you get what you pay for.

I agree with Brooks! I love mine and they really have helped with my plantar fasciitis. That's what my podiatrist at MGH in Boston recommended. I would go with a motion-control running shoe. Also, they tend to be a little deeper, so they're good if you need to fit in orthotics like I do. Good luck!

Do not use a running shoe.they only offer support for heel strike,ball push off.get pair of training shoes or cross training shoe.they will support lateral movement and you feet,knees and hips will thank you!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
