Shoes

I know I have seen people asking about comfortable shoes for walking in the parks on these forums before, but no matter what search I put in, everything in the world comes up EXCEPT shoes. Have bad arthritis and need cushioning and arch support. Suggestions?? Thank you.

Glad you like them! I’ve been wearing Go walks almost exclusively for more than 5 years. I stand a lot at work and find them comfortable for that too.

Just a word of caution some of the styles fit a bit differently.

Any particular type of the Go Walk you recommend? I bought those glimmer ones just randomly. Thanks.

The ones currently in my shoe rotation are Go Walk Joys.

Thank you for the info and OP sorry I've diverted your thread here!

Have to say, I’ve been curious about the Sketchers Go Walk for a while. Does Amazon’s have the best prices?

Because there are different styles of Go Walk shoes, I usually recommend trying them on first. Because each style shoe fits me differently and some are more comfortable than others.

Not a problem. There have been many good recommendations here. I am in the parks now, and my sketchers didn’t arrive before I left home, but I think those Balega socks saved my feet.

I got a pair of those too, and they are comfy!
Have fun!!

Hokas is the way to go. Only shoe, AFAIK, to have the seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association. Until you've worn a pair, you won't understand what they really do for you.

My son and I just got back from a 9 day trip. My son wore Hokas the whole trip and absolutely loved them. I was very happy with My Onclouds. I brought a pair of Allbirds, which I really like, but was not good for all day park walking. My son has Oncloud and Hoka, likes both, but prefers his Hokas.
