These shoes are made for walkin...

Surgery planned for June but was wanting to get moving and get started walking some. I know everyone has a different opinion but just wondering what is the best walking shoe??

I've tried about every brand of shoe. My favorites are Under Armor trainers (mine are 5+ years old and still in good enough condition to go river running and hiking in), and my Mizuno shoes. Try to find a shoe store in your area that will asses your walking pattern and whether your pronate, supinate, or are neutral. Most over weight people have over pronation issues, meaning they land on the inside of their foot with their ankles leaning inward, if you look at past shoes and there is obvious wear to the inside of the sole, that's one sign you over pronate. If that's the case, you can seek out shoes made especially for the issue that cushion the landing to keep from causing more damage and stress on joints.

A good shoe store will be able to provide you with a shoe that meets your needs and foot placement during steps. It was the best investment I made in buying a quality shoe that is going to last, and treat my feet right. I went to RunOn! but there may not be one near you, and they didn't charge for the assessment, plus their shoes were comparable to other stores prices.
