Katie3 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I need new shoes. They have to be very very comfortable. I do a lot of walking, and I am on my feet for work. Plus I want them to last a long time since I am going to university soon. Please help me. What shoes do you all have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Damn, I thought this was going to be about the band the Shoes. For comfort and all round versatility you can't beat a good pair of running shoes. I have a pair of Nike Air Max Moto 5+ which are good if you need a neutral-cushioned shoe. I pretty much only use them for jogging though, and usually wear some canvas Converse shoes or some older running shoes I have kicking about for everyday use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Timberland makes a damn fine pair of shoes - and, they are one of the first companies to go green - long before the current crop of green-washers. Simple also makes comfortable, durable footwear. Oh, and Doc Martens are great as well - lots of cool styles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alison the wilca Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 doc martens seem like they would be way too heavy for lots of walking. i would go to a store that specializes in athletic footwear. we have a great one here in chicago where they watch the way you run/walk and choose your shoe based on our foot's needs. its worth it to find a pair that feel awesome. i think when i was in college, i wore a lot of Reef flip-flops... but that was because it was often very hot (so cal).

Good Old Neon Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Naw, they make all sorts of shoes now - from heavy boots, to light weight walkers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Just bought some converse EV pro II. 2nd best shoes ever made (Chuck's being No 1, of course). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VenusStopsTrain2 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I was a Nike fan..but kept having problems with the cushy part stop being cushy after not so long...so now I'm on a pair of Saucony's. They rock and I love wearing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Simple also makes comfortable, durable footwear. First thing I have ever agreed with you 100% on. I've slaughtered a pair of Bennies due to wearing them for virtually 5 months straight and they're still hella comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turtlegirl37 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Try Born. Very comfy in my experience. Chucks are not so good for lots of walking, nor are Doc boots. I used to wear Sauconys when I ran cross country, and they were comfy as well. I think they're made overseas now though, so they may not be quite the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griddles Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 That is what I thought this thread as going to be about. I just wear indoor soccer shoes. They last forever because they are designed for more intense wear and tear than normal walking around. I would recommend Adidas Sambas. An added bonus: If you are ever attacked you will be able to run away because they are athletic shoes. And people ask you all the time if you play soccer. Depending on the person asking that can be good or bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Acres Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have found these to be the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn: http://www.keenfootwear.com/ I have a slightly wide foot, and these are the only shoes I've tried that do not have my feet feeling worn out by the end of a long day's walkin'.

Hodie Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 New Balance Classics are the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever owned. I can walk for miles, and I do, and don't even feel my feet. And as long as we're talking about converse -- Jack Purcell's look good, and have the added attraction of arch support. If I have to stand in all stars all day, I end up crying at night.

mollyegan Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've become a big fan of Earth shoes...very comfortable. Plus, they were designed by a yoga instructor- they have a "negative heel" that makes you stand up straight. They are the ultimate in hippie-chic....vegan and everything.

They have all kinds of cute styles too. I have a pair of mary janes that work with dresses, but they are like wearing sneakers. So comfy and great for city walking.

tongue-tied lightning Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 got my Keens on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Man, this thread reminds me of how much I want a pair of Keens. I have a pair of New Balance running shoes that I wear when I'm going to be walking a lot. They are really comfortable and made from this really breathable fabric that keeps your feet cool. My Doc Martens are really heavy and clunky, but I just think of all the extra calories I'm burning as I walk... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
