Skechers Men's Shape-Ups XT Fitness Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a person who walks at least 8 miles a day for exercise. Of course I am retired, so I have ample time to walk 2-2 1/2 hours a day. My right foot is arthritic and I also have a bunion. Because of this, I use running shows for my exercise routine because of the support and comfort they provide.
When I seen and read about Skechers, I figured I would give them a try. But at a retail price of $115.00, there was no way I would invest that kind of money into a walking a show. However, I found these shoes on Amazon; and with all the discounts, I got them for between 35-40% off. So I decided to take a chance.
When I first laced up my new Skechers and took my first few steps, I noticed a difference right away. You have to go slow with these shoes until you can get use to a new way of walking. You will need acquaint yourself with a new sense of balance because of the design and height of the sole. The weight of the shoe is also a factor. Once you get past that, you will notice that these shoes are very comfortable.
One thing I will caution people who purchase these shoes is to ease your way into a walking routine; and don't be like me and go hog wild the first day. You need your leg muscles to get use to a new way of walking. You will be using muscles you don't normally use with a regular shoe.I made the mistake of doing my usual 8 miles and paid the price the next few days. I ended up straining my left leg above my ankle.
After a few days of going back to my regular shoes and then easing the Skechers into my walking, I have not experienced any additional discomfort in my leg. So if you decide to purchase these shoes, heed my warning and go slow.
Will these shoes accomplish what they are marketed to do is still unknown as far as I'm concerned? But, with a little transition time and a little patience you may find them as comfortable as I do.

New Balance Men's MC655 Tennis Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these in a size 11.5 D (medium) width. Stats: male, 37, 5'11", 220 lbs, moderatley active.
While there was an initial break-in period, they were well worth the effort. Just getting back into tennis after a long lay-off, they fit perfectly after softening up a bit and adding decent cushioning insoles. No blisters, excellent lateral stability, fairly lightweight. Leather where they should be, mesh where possible to keep feet cool, relatively speaking (I live in Phoenix, will be playing today, 113 degrees.)
Too early to tell if they will be durable, but they seem well constructed.
Compared to similarly priced Adidas, Nike, Asics and Wilson. Asics were close. Adidas were narrow. Nike and Wilson were both terrible; lots of places rubbing against the foot, not smooth inside like the New Balance. Tried more expensive NB's but these seemed the most stable.
