Are you loyal to any particular trainers/sneakers brand?

As a runner for many years I was a soucony gal...However having to change to walking d/t knee replacement I am a Hoka Convert!!! I am obsessed with them and recommend them to everyone!!

I find that ASICS work best for me for walking or standing long periods. I have an indoor pair I use when I am baking or cooking something that takes a long time. Standing for long periods on my LVP flooring is hard on my feet.

I wear Hoka now.  I think it has also changed my gait and I don't have the back pain that I used to have. And they are nice and wide in the front for my bunions. 

I wear Brooks and Hokas.

I like new balance as they come in extra extra wide.. so I can actually wear them out of the box.

For exercise: Hokas. I need a stability shoe for walking/jogging and theirs are the best for me.

For just general bumming around, I like Taos because of the arch support, and I also will wear Skechers Arch Fit styles.

I stick mainly to ASICS, New Balance, and Brooks. I do a lot of walking at work and find that if I wear one pair for too long it causes problems for me. So I will switch them out every day or two.

Back when I ran, I liked Saucony. For my walks/hikes, I've stuck with my Adidas Terrex with Gore-Tex because we have a long wet/mud season, and I can't stand wet feet. Their only downside is that the Gore-Tex makes them hot in summer. My shoes for the gym are also Adidas.

I pronate when I walk, and have a really high arch. Right now, Asics are the best fit for me. I tried Hokas, and they killed my feet. I couldn’t even wear them around the living room.

I am an ASICS gal. I love the support they give me and my orthotics fit so well.

ASICS for walking. Been wearing them forever. Vionics for slippers.

As a youth I loved Vans and Keds. Later on I mostly wore Skechers. I can’t wear any of those now because they don’t work well with my orthotics, in fact I can’t wear anything with any built in arch or heel height. I wear Rocket Dog Jazzins almost exclusively now with the insoles torn out because they’re wide and work perfectly with my custom orthotics. I like that they come in lots of colors and patterns, and also in both high and low tops.

I also recently took a chance and bought a pair of Dickies Supa Dupa Low sneakers in wide width that were surprisingly comfortable and worked with my orthotics. Bonus, they were really cheap and they came in a pretty pink color! 

Running and walking I like On

Fashion shoes are Veja or New Balance

I’m on my feet hustling at my job for a full 9+ hours a day, and my Cloves are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. I’ve tried Hokas, Sketchers, and a few others, and the Cloves leave my feet pain free throughout the day. I love them so much I bought a pair just for out-and-about use. They’re not inexpensive, but totally worth it for me.
