My wife an I started walking for fun and exercise and once we got up to 4 miles a day, he feet started bothering her to the point where we were afraid we might have to shut the activity down.  She was wearing cheaper sneakers and we decided to look into the various online web sites that help evaluate your feet.  As it turned out, the sites recommended this particular brand and type shoe.  The shoes completely alleviated the foot pain and we are back on the paths again, thanks to them.

Obviously if you are about to take up any sort of activity, you may require certain types of equipment.  Good equipment can really help.  These shoes saved my wife's aching feet... and our exercise routine.  I highly recommend them, especially if those sites tell you to try them.
