ICE CARATS925 Sterling Silver Clarinet Charm Necklace Pendant Musical Instrument Fine Jewelry For Women Gifts For Her

so this was the last shoe in my 2 month journey to find walking shoes. I tried: Saucony ride 15w, Asics nimbus? 24, wide & xtra wide, brooks adrenaline gts 22w, new balance 880v12w, nike Pegasus 37, & new balance 1080v12w. all highly rated on so called running sites & YouTubers. im gonna try to cut & paste this on the other shoes reviews. my goal: a lightweight cool temp, wide, neutral, lower heel toe drop, mid cushiony shoe for walking & a little bit of running short distances. I was wearing a new balance industrial shoe then my nike monarchs for the same daily walking running amount. here's my 2 cents: 1. ride 15=surprise favorite shoe of the bunch, never wore saucony before, terrible logo. Reminds me of cheap MacGregor shoes you would get at Walmart in the 80s. Remember them? coolest temp shoe ive ever wore, lightweight & fairly flexible, midsole a little hard for me but people say this is one of the few modern shoes that need a break in period. a little harsh on concrete, but weirdly felt better on gravel. I was prepared to sell my children & leave my wife for these shoes, except after a couple of days around the house, I realized the outer portion of the insole was pressing against my outer big toes & heels. the fit of the shoe was perfect except that. & these were wide in size. if these were available in xtra wide, I would've found my forever shoe. the only extra wide I could find from them were the echelons? that didn't get very good ratings..2. asics nimbus24w=I ended up sending the wide back for xtra wide. narrow shoe similar feel to the pegasus. a foot strangler. not crazy about the gel. I feel it's taxing on your toes after awhile, from repeated squishing into the gel. a little warm but flexible & reasonably lightweight. these was what I ended up keeping. not from shoe design or build, but simply running out of options & risking amazon getting sick of me sending shoes back, & they fit the best out of all of them..3. brooks adrenaline gts22w= 1st impression was they're better made than the others. just a quality feel to them. however, I never could get the shoe to sit right on my feet, different lacing, socks, didn't help. it was too big and too small at the same time..4. nike pegs 37= waaayyy too tight. foot stranglers. cheapest feel of all of them. typical nike feel. the air pocket is a little too hard for light people in my opinion. couldn't find in xtra wide..5. new balance 880v12w & 6. nb 1080v12v= very similar feeling shoes. ive been a fan of nb shoes for decades. mostly work shoes, or kohls 49.95 cheapies. im only 48 & been teased for my dad shoes lol. but damn it nb has always been my go to, no nonsense, affordable, sensible brand. the 1080 is on every runners and walkers list. I basically poured thru YouTube, reddit, amazon reviews, and runners sites & came up with a handful of shoes that were always mentioned in the best category. the 1080 was my 1st shoe ordered assuming they'd be my only shoe. to my abject horror, both the 1080 & 880, had a weird ankle collar material that would repeatedly hit the underside of your ankle with every step. causing a weird numbness/pain. almost like they were hitting a nerve. sent back & got the 880, same thing. huge disappointment. loved everything else about the shoes except the collar thing...so this is the unfortunate end to my shoe shopping. just went with the Asics, hopefully they last. some advice: I think most YouTubers online magazines are getting either free product or payment for positive reviews. & shoes are highly personal. no two feet (not even you're own) are the same. so take what you read with a grain of salt. if possible take it advantage of Amazon's return policy and order two pairs at the same time so you can have a direct comparison. I do find it unfortunate that so many runners out there are convinced their shoes need to be surgically attached to their feet. I've never wore barefoot shoes, but I do think there's something to it and I think we're causing a lot of our own back and feet issues by wearing terrible pointy shoes that are too small/narrow for us. but come in bright and fun colors with name brands we grew up with and attach to social status. And unfortunately, barefoot shoes are not helping the matter by looking like awful bowling shoes, with ridiculous price tags for half the materials and technology in them. Being sold at douche bag stores like REI, and other rich white people hobby stores.

I am an active 71 year old male with wide flat feet and a little arthritis in a metatarsal joint on the top of one foot. The pain was unreal. I tried about five different shoes (that didn't help), before I settled on the Adrenalines. I happened to be wearing them on a trip to my podiatrist, and he told me that these were the exact shoes I should be wearing. I'm not a marathon runner, but I am a walker and I do go to the gym every day. The arthritis is still there, but the pain is gone and I haven't had to return to the podiatrist. I wear these shoes all day every day, and I think I'm on my sixth or seventh pair. I put them on in the morning and take them off at bedtime. They are sturdy, provide a lot of support, and last a long time. I can't say that for the cheaper brands I've tried. I scrub the soles and wash them in the washing machine regularly followed by air drying. When they get too ratty, they become my go-to gardening shoes. They aren't cheap, but the comfort is worth every penny.

The Brooks Adrenaline are the only shoe I can wear and oddly, there is a big difference between the white, as these are, to the other colors as far as cushioning and support. I don't know why but I've had a couple pair of the black and they just were not as comfortable. I can tell when these are wearing out because the knee and hip pain begins. I have been using Brooks Adrenaline for several years now. For me, they are Great!!!Update: I just ordered my 3rd pair of these shoes. This GTS 22 version is the most comfortable to date and I want to be sure I have a new pair available as they do become difficult to get at times and this is a good price. I walk 5 or more miles a day and these are incredibly comfortable for me and they are the only shoe I wear.

I bought these as I am on my feet for a good 8 hours a day at work. They are comfortable, great foot support, breathable and I do not have achy feet. I am 6 ft, 240lbs and they are great for work. To make them even better I got the super feet carbon fiber insoles and they just bring them to a nearly perfect level for me.I hope this helps, the carbon fiber insoles take about 2 weeks to get used to, especially if you have not used them before.

I seem to be a habitual runner - for many decades now - and wear out a lot of shoes.This one is still near the beginning so I can't say anything about wear and tear - too early. But it feels good and seems simpatico with my running needs easily going six miles and over - I tend to average 7-8 miles, sometimes more, sometimes less. So far I'm happy adding this shoe to my running stable.M EigenAuthor, The Sensitive Self

Edited below:So customer service reached out to me regarding the damage of the shoes. And really it is my fault.... Running shoes by nature are designed to handing front and back forces that you would expect to see while running. But by using them to play pickleball, the side walls of the shoes are not designed to handle the quick sideways forces that happen during play, which has caused the holes.Not only did they recommend proper shoes for that sport to me, they also offered to replace them at no cost which blew my mind. Such amazing customer service to match the fantastic shoes.Original review:I purchased these shoes almost a year ago, planning to wear them for working out but never got started actually wearing them until around December. So I have been wearing them about twice a week either to the gym or on a run, for about 5 months and the inside edges of the shoes have worn completely through. Normally I have had great experiences with brooks shoes, but these are such a disappointment. My last pair lasted almost 2 years of harsh work wear. These shoes are so comfy and look great but they absolutely should not be wearing out like this under the minimal stress I have put them under
