NWFlyer 2 #2 August 31, 2006 Go to a good specialty running or walking store near you. Tell them what you need the shoes for, let them know that it's for lots of walking/standing. Get them to fit you for a pair. A good store should examine your feet, your build, your gait, and find you something that works. Or, you could just go to the mall and buy what looks cool."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

skymama 37 #4 August 31, 2006 I'd recommend going to a real store for runners. I took my son there when he was having problems with shin splints. They take a look at how your shoes are wearing, the shape of your foot and what your needs are. You might pay a little more for this service, but running shoes are made to be light and comfortable so you'll probably be better off in the long run. I know it helped my son a lot to go beyond the normal Nikes.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheStepchild 0 #10 August 31, 2006 If they're for work, get a pair of Danskos. They're not athletic shoes per se, but they're super comfy and lightweight. I've been waiting tables/bartending for years and that's all I ever wear. I love them!Why can't pirates and cowboys co-exist in perfect harmony?
