Brooks athletic shoes work best for my feet and gait.  I'm very athletic and have worn this style for years with orthotics.  I sure wish Brooks would make more  athletic shoes in a conservative color.  I don't like the bright, zany colors, and these are the only ones acceptable to me.  I walk a lot.  They wear out a little faster than I'd like, but they are comfortable, and my feet stay dry even in the rain.
