Sneaker or walking shoe suggestions...

Howdy,
okay here's my mess of the day. Instead of going to Footlocker to purchase my sneakers like I should've, I took my behind to Meijers to buy some sneakers.
\O/ WHY WHY WHY\O/.

The selection wasn't the best and in a moment of temporary insanity I opted for some Dr. Scholls walking sneakers for $44.00's. Let's just say that they will be returned on tomorrow.

I will go on to Footlocker to purchase a pair of sneakers that wont cause me to break my ankles.

Soooo tell me, what brand of shoe would you suggest?

Thank you,
Que

Hello Ms. Yess:
It's good to see that you are feeling better. I suggest a Reebok sneaker, something light weight. But tell them you plan to walk. Be careful of plantar heel...which can come with any shoe; eventually you may want a heel "thingy" (forgot the name) to fit in your shoes. Now as I think about it, you may want to talk to a foot specialist for suggestions on the best walking shoes. My doctor told me that overweight people should be careful with their feet because you can do permanent damage because of the pressure factor, even though it is low impact.

Thank you ValueMe.

I would certainly have to vouch for Nike Shox. They are admittedly rather expensive, but at 324lbs (now 266), they were the only sneakers that didn't cave to one side under my weight. I would suggest checking www.nike.com for them b/c Footlocker tends to be expensive, and I just got some on clearance on Nike's website.

Thank you, I will check out the Nike site.

I love Nike Shox, and you can get great deals on the sales on their website.

Thanks Chelle,
that's two for Nike Shox.

Hey  Que :)
 
I  like  New Balance and therlo's sock :)

Hey thurr Phyll,'
I forgot all ABOUT the NB and Therlo's thanks for reminding me.

Que, I just got a pair of Nike Shox and I feel like I'm walking on cushions, lol,  They feel so good to my feet...almost make me wanna break out in a run (well....not quite, but they do put a little pep in my step).
