Walkers! Recommend Your Favorite Walking Shoe

[Kensington]

I'm having a hell of a time finding something comfortable, so I throw it out to you, the walkers. Do you walk a lot? Do you buy shoes specifically for walking? What is your walking shoe?

Thanks!

New Ballance. They have held up well, and along with a good stretch, has kept my achillies tendon from acting up.

Whatever you choose to get, go to a store that will measure your foot and fit you with the best shoe for you. A serious running store with a good, professional staff will get you what you need.

[who cares?]

for my money, there's only one walker:

I'm not a pro walker or race walker or anything, but I need a good, comfortable walking shoe for treks across campus (UT is pretty damn huge) I found the Nike Free Trails to be a damn fine pair of shoes. Got my wife hooked on them...she's about to buy her second pair...and one of my good friends also. I've had mine for about 6 months and they are going strong and still my favorites.

Measure my foot? They do that? I've only ever encountered sullen, unhelpful shoe store employees, without exception.

<NERD>Can you tell me which specific New Balance model you like, by the way?</NERD>

Teva Sandals. They rock . . . if you are doing a lot of walking on vacation, like going to Disneyworld or any other theme park.

Go to a department store like Macy's . . . let them measure you. You might even find something on sale.

Never in a hundred years would that have occurred to me. Maybe I'll do that.

I need more support than sandals provide. I walk between three and four miles every day for exercise, and sandals aren't going to cut it for that.
