Sojourner 2,446 Posted December 13, 2014 I am "late to the party" and wanted to add that it is important to have your step analyzed to determine if you need a neutral shoe or one which corrects for pronation. My son recommended I go to Fit 2 Run to help with being fitted by a specialist. I need a neutral shoe, and for the past 6 months have been training for a half marathon, during which I will be walking. Brooks Glycerin 11 with orthotic inserts has allowed me to train for months without any discomfort or injury to my feet or legs. Which is amazing to me as I had surgery on both feet in 2013. EBay has them at a range of prices. The 11 is last year's model, and I prefer them over the new for this year Glycerin 12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted December 13, 2014 It is not uncommon for individuals to lose a shoe size or two during weight loss. Many times their feet shrink in width. So when you buy a new pair of shoes, check your feet for the proper size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rubygirl 32 Posted December 13, 2014 I wear Asics because I tend to get plantar fasciitis and I find they have good arch support. Also the wide toe area works for me. They were recommended by a podiatrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiritedcowgirl63 108 Posted December 15, 2014 Roadrunner sports has a great site that customs your needs to the right shoe. Had shin splints prior to them fitting my needs. Now can go farther and no splints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forsythia 882 Posted December 17, 2014 I have sketchers cross trainers with the memory foam inserts. They are fab. I really like a cushy, well padded shoe though. I've attached a picture of my shoes since since they really reflect my personality. LOL. Shoes are so individual, you really need to try them on, and buy the ones that feel the best on you. Price be damned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
