For the last couple of years, I've been wearing Reebok hightops.  A size 9 wide foot with high arches, it's only been over the last year or two that I've found myself adding inserts so I don't feel like I'm just standing/walking on concrete.  I've no doubt that part of the problem stems from my now spending hours at a time standing.  (Welcome to retail.)

I've been wearing these Toning Shoes (size 9) for about 2 weeks and they give the soles of my feet the additional cushion they've been screaming for when I'm at work.  Yes, I've added inserts too and one foot (wider than the other) gets an additional insert for the ball of the foot.  So far; so good.

These Avia shoes, however, will not be the ones I'll use when walking for several reasons:

-they are not very flexible
-they are not light
-walking sites have recommended "distance" walkers use running shoes
-I'm afraid that the instability of the shoe (the design of the shoe is get one to work those muscles to counteract the shoe's instability) is, over time, going to do more damage to my hips and back.

Thanks to a local running shoe store with a very patient sales person, my choice of shoe for "distance" walking was the Saucony Progrid Ride 4 in size 9, and for day to day walking Nike's Pegasus 28 in size 9.5.

Yes, different shoes because I'm asking my feet to do different things and I want to keep them happy.
