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

Another vote for Skechers as the most comfortable. Even have Skechers sneakers for softball.

I suggest trying on a pair of Hokas. Your whole body will thank you. It took a few days for me to notice the difference. My feet, knees, hips and back all feel better after walking in Hokas.

There is The Good Foot Syore, For Feets Sake at Sumter, another at the stores on 441 near Best Buy, Skechers and a store at Brownwood that sells SAS shoes. All of these sell great walking shoes.

I have worn Brooks exclusively for my walking and they are awesome . I’ve tried many and for walking the best ! Not sure who carries them here though . Just moved here ourselves.

Sketchers Up on 441. Join their club before going. I get an email almost everyday from them offering 20-30% off plus $$$ off for joining the club, this is on top off the sales price at the store. (Some restrictions sometimes where the coupons are only good online but this has been rare occurrences).
I also own crocs and rockport shoes but I always go to Sketchers 1st to see what they have before going to other places

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.

My go-to shoes for general walking around, no-activity, are Hey Dudes. They are almost like walking around barefoot, and most styles are machine washable. The Flip Flop Shop in Spanish Springs carries a large selection of Dudes. They also carry Olukai, which is another excellent choice.

SAS in Brownwood. The most comfortable shoes I have ever had. They are a bit pricey, but, worth it.

Don’t like to post negative stuff. Biz, Brownwood was very rude to my laid back husband and he never gets upset

So, the laser gizmo selected off-the-rack shoes, but they did not offer to make custom shoes?

In the old days, if they didn't have your size, the saleperson would automatically tell you that these shoes run small or large depending on what they had in stock.

Walmart sells the Sketchers unbranded shoe for $29 vs branded at Kohls for $125. Same exact shoe.

Head on over to Belk, it’s in the northern older section. They carry ladies shoes called Bzees. They are fantastic. Come in all sorts of styles, and they are truly the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I have loafers, sandles, slip ons. I get them online, but Belk carries them. Macys also carries them but that is not in the villages.
