sneakers

[Guest guest]

I finally bought myself some new sneakers the other day. I have been wearing

the reebok princess style for the last few pairs I have gotten. Well this

time I bought myself a nice pair of reebok sneaks that were a walking style.

They seemed very comfortable and I usually have a hard time getting a pair

that feels good on me. Well I had a DR. Appt this am and had them on for

about 20 minutes or so before I left and my feet felt as though they were

numb so I had to take them off. I was wondering if anyone else has ever had

that happen to them before and if you might know what would cause someting

like that to happen. They are not tight or anything but my feet have been

pretty sore lately. I'm just not sure what could have happened and was

looking to see if I could get any ideas as to why that happened. Thanks in

advance. Barb

i am sorry to hear tht barb. i have had lots of troubles with my feet. do you

have orthodics? i have spent $100 on shoes this summer and neither really

feel right. i know i have tendonitis and a bad nerve at the bottom of my

foot. i am going to ask him to make me new orthodics with this swelling. they

are just so comfortable now. especially since i have to put off the surgery

as long as possible now. i just gon't have the money. i know the dr would

write off, but the anesthesia, hospital, drugs, bandages. oof!!!! so i guess

i have to make it more comfy for me. i took back 5 pairs of shoes before i

had these 2 that i am still having problems with. might just take some time

to break them in. kathy in il

Dear Barb, I also wore the princess reboks for years

because they were lightweight and soft-sided. I now

wear sketchers - the ones with the mesh so they are

softer than the hard ones. They feel like walking on

cushions - I love them. I wish you good shoe hunting.

Personally, I don't use the brands like Reebok and

Nike. I have flat feet and those brands don't help me.

For the past year I have been buying sneakers.

I starting buying them in a running store here in

Virginia. I buy the walking shoe with a reinforced

arch. I love them! In the past 1.5 years I have gone

through 4 pairs (I walk a lot, and this brand is

guaranteed for 500 miles).

I would recommend going to a running store because

they are very helpful. For my first pair at VA Runner,

the clerk had me walk without shoes on so he could

watch my feet as I walked and suggest an appropriate

type of shoe. The sneakers I buy run about $70,

which is less than some Nike and Reebok ones.

Hope that helps,
