Walking Shoes
So I need a decent pair of walking shoes. Obviously I'm not running anymore, and my running shoes are spent and probably not the best to walk in for excercise anymore, so I'm in need of something new. I get my running shoes from Striders because they're usually guaranteed to have the specific motion control shoe I need (if not they order them for me), but I have a $10 off any $50 at D*ck's Sporting Goods, so I'd like to use that and same some money if possible. ***'s doesn't have a dedicated "walking shoe" section. Would a running shoe work for walking (I usually walk 2-3 miles on treadmill), or should I stick with a specialy shoe store for my athletic footwear, where I know they'll have "walking shoes"? I'm not looking for anything fancy like a toning shoe, just a basic shoe with good support.
Re: Walking Shoes
New balance has some good info on their website although I now can't find it to send you a link. Arg. My pedorthist urged me to get that brand, an 800 level or higher. I need the roll bar in the bottom that some of theirs have, so my ankle doesn't wobble side to side. They also have US made/assembled shoes which is nice in this day & age. Most of the NBs sold at Kohls or the like are their lower numbered ones with less engineering & special features, but sporting goods stores should have something higher.
If you're really concerned about getting a good safe shoe I'd skip a big store like that and find a place with a pedorthist on staff that can help you find a shoe that will work with you instead of against you. It is worth paying extra to not end up in PT or the Dr's office again.
I love Asics. Hate, hate hate NB. If you know what works for you, just get those.
