Prefer buying from a store so we can try on without shipping back and forth.

I recently visited Fleet Feet in Colony Plaza for a new pair of walking around shoes. They had me stand on a special mat that uses lasers to measure every aspect of my feet. It was amazing how there are so many slight differences between the left and right foot. The analysis indicated the type of shoe that would best serve my needs, and the store staff brought out several pairs so that I could try various levels of cushioning. The winner was the Hoka with the mid-level cushioning, which worked well for my wide feet. I was so impressed that I brought my wife in, who was also measured and found that the Brooks model was the best fit for her narrow feet. Both types were more expensive than the typical sneakers, but were very well constructed and fit us properly. For us, there will be no more hit or miss, trying on shoes from a stack of boxes.
