What shoes do you wear
My go to has been New Balance for everyday but since retirement I've been in flip flops mostly. Now, as I'm "maturing", I'm looking for a shoe I can comfortably walk in.
The New Balance aren't doing it anymore and the flip flops just don't have the support plus I've tripped in them a few times and don't want to fall. What's your go to for everyday wear? |
I wear OrthoFeet shoes. I'm a tall guy with big feet and they give great sturdy support.
They're covered by many health insurance plans, but I found it easier, personally, to pay just a couple extra bucks and buy them. Happy Walking |
I live in Birkenstocks. They range from their infamous sandals to tennis shoes and some dress shoes. Great arch support and my plantar fasciitis doesn’t act up.

Teva sandals or Rockport Prowalkers
|
Crocs and Sketchers

Go to Fleet Feet at Colony shopping center in The Villages. Let them fit the right shoe for you. Their shoes are pricey but after wearing them I have found them to be worth it for comfort. I purchased Brooks and Hoka brands there again pricey but the comfort is worth it. Also every time I have gone there they were very busy and there must be a reason.

Because we use our feet every day, shoes are important.
We were regulars at GH Bass in TV before they closed then discovered Skechers. Both Bass and Skechers started falling apart terribly and getting any kind of service , warranty, or a response to a call , email or chat gets a.i. at best. No more cheap chinese shoes! ( wife and so many others still think their NB are USA made ) I’m back to SAS, Danner, and Birkenstocks and change off every day Life’s too short to wear bad shoes. |
Skechers for everything!

Usually flip flops for casual everyday wear, but if I’m driving somewhere, heading to the squares to dance, or something like that I’ll wear Skechers slip ins. Great shoe and very comfortable.
|
Skechers
I wear SKECHERS almost all the time. Also, recommend the “slip-ins” models so I don’t have to spend my time bending over to put them on or lace them up.

Skechers and Crocs
Skechers for everything outside the house, crocs for around the yard and barefoot in the house.
|
Oofos is my go-to
I started wearing Oofos for Plantar faciitis. I haven't needed injections since. Like walking on air. Many different styles and colors. Not cheap, but worth it. Oofos.com

Go to Fleet Feet and try on Hoka’s they are the most comfortable. Your feet, knees and hips will thank you!
|
Hoka for everything. Oofoos from the shower to my socks.
|
The slip-ins of Skechers is very convenient. Given the cost, I don’t expect them to last very long.
For durability, I go with SAS in Brownwood. More expensive but they are comfortable from day one and last a long time. |

mbene...Sketchers has a great walking shoe. There is a store by Rolling Acres in a strip mall with Target. Get the " slip ons" , no tying of laces, or bending over. Or you can also order on-line

Asics Running shoes, which are maximally padded (and I do not run). Their website is good about which shoes have the most padding.

Try brands called Bare Traps, or Bzees. Another brand more expensive is Vionic.

but more expensive is Vionic. |
Oofos are the best. Especially in the house on tile. Go to the sale section and order a pair. That’s what I did to make sure I liked them before spending $100. Now I have three pair and my husband has two.
|
I like Hey Dudes for around the house and when I'm not walking very far. Skechers for walking and when I can usually get them for around $30 at Costco I don't mind that they only last about 6 months.
I also use Lock Laces on every athletic shoe I have from my Skechers to my golf shoes to my softball cleats. They make every shoe I have a pull-on and haven't tied laces in years. |

Hoka without a doubt!! if you start looking at people on the walking trails, you'll see a lot of people wearing them. I went to buy sneakers and had new balance. I put one hoka on one foot and left the other sneaker on and walked around in the store. Night and day difference.!! Worth every penny

Flip flops or Hey Dudes for every day knock around wear. My walking shoes are Hoka Clifton 9s from Fleet Feet. Golf shoes are Ecco. Simply can't wear one shoe for everything.

My every day footwear is by SAS (San Antonio Shoes). I’ve been wearing different types of shoes by this brand for over 20 years. My podiatrist highly recommends this brand for comfort and foot health.
Their sandals and flip-flops are comfortable as all get out… I can wear either type all day without complaint. I own their sneakers and their walkers and find them to be the most comfortable, supportive and durable shoes I’ve ever owned. They have an outlet at Brownwood. The salesperson will give you a proper and exact fit. And of course they are available online. Men's Shop by Collection | SAS Shoes Be warned, these shoes are not cheap yet they are worth every dime! Made in the USA. Happy hoofing! :) |
Oofos for flip flops. Great arch support and like walking in air. Not cheap but worth it.
For closed toe shoe I use Sketchers slip ons. Very cushy and comfortable with arch support. |
