Over the years I have used several different brands of Running and Cross-Training shoes.  After I cound no longer run, a friend recommended I try a pair of Avia shoes to use when I went out to walk and to use in the gym when I conducted low-impact exercises.  So, I ordered a pair of Avia sneaker on-line back in the spring of 2011...  They were EXTREMELY comfortable and supportive the moment I put them on -- Avia is the only brand I wear today.  I strongly recommend Avia to everyone who walks or conducts circut training at the gym!!!
