I walk a lot.  I have walked in Nike, Reebok, Avia, New Balance, etc. and found that by the end of the day or the walk, my feet and back would hurt.  I thought I would try Skechers Walking Shoe.  These shoes are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet.  As soon as I got them, I put them on and went for a walk. To this day, my feet and my back do not hurt after wearing these shoes all day.  There was no break in time at all.  These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. I forget I have shoes on, that is how comfortable these sneakers are. Do yourself a favor and purchase a pair, you will not be sorry.  Skechers is my walking shoe from hereon.
