Ok, I need some new shoes and fast! Here are my stats: 30yrs old, 258 lbs , on my feet on a hard concrete floor for 8 hours, flat footed. I , in the past, had New Balance and liked them for the most part, but now I need new shoes.Can someone either point me to some good shoes, threads on good shoes or such? I hear great things about Ryka but I dont know what style to buy or even look for.I just need opinions on brands without a lot of jargon that I dont understand.How loose is it ok for the heel to be in your shoes? Should your heel move at all?What do you need if you are flat footed? I like New Balance and have had the 606s but dont know if the new 608s are the right type for me. Any help would be appreciated. Piper Have your ever tried Birkenstocks? They are great for times when you're on your feet a lot.

SAS shoes. Recommended by my mother-in-law after she had surgery on her legs/feet. I stand/walk a lot in my job, and they are the ONLY brand that don't have me limping by the end of the day. They aren't particularly pretty, and they are pretty expensive, but damn, they are comfortable. I can wear them longer than my Eccos or my Birkenstocks.

You'll save in the long run by not having to see a podiatrist because of corns, bunions, and hammertoes. I wear Birkenstocks myself, but my feet do hurt with the ankle boots after a long day. We're about the same size (20 pounds difference). If you like clogs, Mom swears by Dansko. Yvonne Yvonne Just a thought...I love SAS shoes myself and would never buy any other kind for everyday use. I have bought a lot of them on eBay for about $15 or less compared to the over $80 they charge in the SAS stores, and all of them have been new or very slightly worn. If you are not sure of your size try on a pair in the store first, then ask for a listing of that size on eBay.

If you're standing all day and overweight, you'll want sturdy support, not just walking support. Asics and New Balance make great sneakers with medial posts. > Ok, I need some new shoes and fast! > Here are my stats: 30yrs old, 258 lbs , on my feet on a hard concrete floor [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Piper > Here are my stats: 30yrs old, 258 lbs , on my feet on a hard concrete > floor for 8 hours, flat footed. Dansko clogs. Nurses, surgeons, and chefs swear by them because they're supportive even after 10 hours of standing on a hard concrete floor. I wear mine all the time, and I'm not any of those things. I'm just a shlub who'll buy t-shirts at Costco but won't skimp on comfortable, good-for-me $100 Danskos. Cate |
