What is the best shoes for heavier runners/walkers

New Balance Men's MW928 Leather/Mesh Walking Shoe beats the 574. My 574's came apart at the seams (2 seams on the toe box). So, I now have the 928's. They look like senior citizen shoes (others have concurred), but they are really good for walking. But a pair, try them, and if you don't like them, you can always return them.

I would say New Balance provides a shoe for everyone. There are certain NB models I don't care for. All around, their lightweight models are great for running and provide good arch support.

Stick with the 47. My feet are sized like yours and I bought the 47's and they fit perfectly.

Michael, best bet would be to google what the staple you are looking for my husband thinks you may be looking for the ones that look like a horse shoe. Thanks Estella.

I would suggest the 7.75-8.25. or the next one down. The 8.5-9.5 are for bigger feet. If you have wide feet then stay with the one's that I suggested first. My husband swears by them, and they have helped him alot.

I don't know. I do know the "trail" version is definitely thicker/heavier than the "run" version. I don't know if warmth is noticeable, since it's ankle-length, but the thickness is different

Thank you so much for your response!! I ended up purchasing a Sole E35 last week based on warranty and several reviews regarding long term maintenance, but I'm not sure the stride (21") will be the most comfortable. I did try out a Spirit a year or so ago, and at the time their machines were identical to Sole's; the stride on that one was ok, but I'll have to see. I really appreciate that you took the time to reply and I am so glad your machine works well for you! If the one I bought doesn't turn out I will know just what to replace it with. Your post was so helpful! Thanks again!!

I actually own a pair of Asics, but not running shoes. I have the Duomax GT2160. They have pretty good arch support, so I never put a pair of Powersteps inside them. As I was replying to your question, I checked it out, and the Powersteps fit just fine. I think I'll order another pair and use them with the Asics also. The other shoes that I wear with the Powersteps are the Propet Walking II shoes and Aravon from New Balance. Hope this helps.

Hi Jennifer, I always start new workouts with a lighter weight. I think I went lighter than normal for these. I think I used a 12. Hope this helps!!

For sure go with the 78 to 108, like you said more support, as when you stretch out the shorter one get a bit flexable.....Hope that helps.

I would not run in this product with the five pounds in each ankle. You may be able to use two to three pounds without worrying about the Velcro coming undone. I haven't tried more than power walking in them with all five pounds and it is fairly awkward feeling.

I run marathon 700x32s and they are true to size, your tread width may depend on your on your rim width. they are a bit taller than average because of green belt and tread depth.

Walking is a bit tough because the shoe is very heavy. I wouldn't try driving with this shoe - the bulkiness of it would definitely impair your pedal control.

I love the shoe.and i will say I wore then alot and they are still maintaining....they are a lil heavy but wearing them outside is all good.. they are better then timberlands.

I recommend these to friends and coworkers for shin-splints. The regular compression sleeves helped to fix mine. The ultra compression sleeves would be my choice if I were running a marathon, stepping up my run distance by several miles, or only if the regular sleeves do nothing. Always try the regular compression sleeves first. They are excellent.

These work best in a running shoe. It's too thick with the loafer style shoes we own.

Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping. Original Yaktrax are a good product for occasional use, but the rubber you are running/walking on will fail with much use (same for the heel area of these you are considering). Stablicer Run are excellent, but a handful of bolts-weight on each shoe! (I get the mail with them, only) Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping.

I think these will work. They are light with a flexible and relatively thin sole. Tai chi is my intended use, but I've only had a chance to use them briefly for that since I bought them.
