I have been walking 4-5 miles per day now since I bought my Fitbit. I need some comfy shoes. Any recommendations? I need something with arch support plus cushioning in the footbed. Not Vionic since they make my back hurt.

I like Ryka since they fit my heel area. Just bought a pair of Ryka Devotion 2 Plus but they don't work for longer walking. They were comfy but the bottom of my feet were burning yesterday after wearing them so I'm sending them back.

Has anyone tried any of the Birkenstock sneakers? I thought about trying the Islay low shoe since I find their sandals comfy.

Who makes sneakers with support & cushioning?

I don't know how these shoe makers think you can walk on shoes with rubber sole plus a thin shoe liner insert???

My podiatrist recommends New Balance 855 for longer distance walking.

I prefer New Balance and a few Skechers.

I wear New Balance also for my walking workouts.    You have to research which design is best for you.  Mine has great support and actually has support for the outside of the foot to help with the risk of twisting my ankle.  I bought mine on LL Bean, not sure what designs they are carrying at this time.

I like New Balance and Brooks.

My newest favorite for workouts are Brooks Ghost, I don't remember the #!

A little pricey, but I usually go Road Runner and have my feet fit and try on many before making a decision.  We belong to their VIP plan so have 90 days to try the shoes out and can return for a different pair if they don't work out.  Neither my husband or I have had to return any.  I need to get a back up pair, as I like to rotate the shoes.  With inserts, new socks and the shoes minus the discount they ran about $160.  I'm sure you can find for less, but with a neuroma and arthritic big toe joints I'm not looking at price.

Another vote for New Balance.

I need arch support too. 

I find Brooks and Asics especially do very well by me.  I get them regularly from Nordstrom Rack at a discount if you have one near you.
