Question Walking Shoes?

Hey Y'all,

Just wondering what walking shoes everyone prefers? I've got some new foot pain, dang it! I have a very wide foot with high arches and instep. I'm about 60 lbs overweight. Any suggestions for good shoes for walking?

Thanks!
Jayden

Default walking shoes

Foot pain may be from heel spurs/plantar fasciatis. Try stretches that extend the heel down farther than usual - like lean against a wall or bench and extend one leg behind far enough heel is up - then press heel to ground slowly. Or put front of one foot on edge of bench seat and lean into it stretching heel down.

As far as shoes, I have preferred the sketchers plain athletic - I have heel spurs and these shoes seem to provide the needed support. Sometimes softer isn't better - more support is.

My DH prefers the New Balance shoes - says his back pain improves with them even.

Anyway, keep walking - and best wishes.
