Walking Shoes for Flat Feet
by Kim
(San Marcos, TX)
I am 5'4", 160 lbs and want to walk to lose weight. I have completely flat feet and have all of my life. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I am 52 years old and have rheumatoid arthritis which has caused me to sell my horses and there went my exercise! I must get back down to normal...125-130. Unfortunately, when I walk my ankles kill me due to rolling inward. Could you suggest a few specific brands and styles of tennis/walking shoes that I could purchase as I am obviously not buying the right ones.
Thank you sooooo much.

Best of luck to you and happy walking!

Asics GEL-4-To-8 - Youll love the GEL-4-to-8 shoe from ASICS from day one. Those walkers prone to foot injuries will rejoice at the safety and comfort features built into this newcomer: GEL Cushioning System, a rocker action midsole that smoothes gait, an open mesh and synthetic upper, and PHF (Personalized Heel Fit). |

Saucony Progrid Stabil LE 4 - Increase your active mileage in the ProGrid Stabil LE 4 walking shoe from Saucony. As the heel impacts the ground, the ProGrid system absorbs the impact to protect the sole. The midsole is built to provide maximum control of over-pronation. HRC cushioning absorbs shock during the gait cycle, rebounding with motivation in stride.
