Comfortable shoes



Recommended Posts

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...

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.

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.

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).

Sketchers really looked great but they don't make size 12.

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 :-)

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!

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.

I love Nike as well, but in my experience the run narrow. Probably not good for someone with a wider foot.

Yup the frees are the best. I have wider feet from ice skates as a kid. Free is the most comfortable.

      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.
