southernqt 236 Posted September 16, 2013 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanmiles23 2,198 Posted September 16, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted September 16, 2013 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). 1 southernqt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skb123 308 Posted September 16, 2013 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. 1 southernqt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southernqt 236 Posted September 16, 2013 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 :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redesigned_Curves 312 Posted September 17, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaGottaBand 498 Posted September 17, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not good for someone with a wider foot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have wider feet from ice skates as a kid. Free is the most comfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
