I'm an old guy, with nerve and bone problems with my feet. I just bought a pair of New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4. Supportive, and the most comfy shoe I've ever worn. Like walking on pillows! 😮✌️
If you're an online shopper, I suggest 8pm. They sell "last season" shoes. My feet are so hard to buy for and most stores don't carry my in between size, so I do t feel too bad trying something on in store, then heading to 8pm. Good luck!
I am an amputee on my right leg and an amputee of my toes on left foot with nerve pain on top of foot and natural padding of bottom of foot due to severe burns. New Balance 928 has been recommended What are your thoughts?
I've been an Asics guy my whole adult life. Mainly Cumulus. I underpronate a little so I need a somewhat stable shoe. I am looking for a different brand because Asic's quality has gone down the toilet the past 5 years or so. None of my pairs last more than a year (if that). A hole in the mesh in the toe area always forms. I'm strictly just a walker. I've been eyeing the Hoka Gaviota 5. Thoughts?
I hear you! I really liked asics for comfort as I'm on my feet everyday, but was really disappointed about holes in toe area (although it did last 2 years). I've heard this happening with other people though so I'm wondering is it because if quality changing or mesh material?
@@True1-10 If you use a trainer daily then 2 years is normal for the life span of the upper. Most uppers are made of engineered mesh so Iikely to get a similar outcome in most trainers.
Thanks for the video! I wonder which one of these I should get, I like to walk very fast for a long time in order to lose weight, however after some time the muscle above my ankle starts burning and locks up. Perhaps a pair for stability?
Hello Sir, looking to buy some shoes for a very hard up, and walking almost primarily on the outsides of their heels and wearing their outsides of the heels of their souls away and a severe angle. He walks like he's riding a horse. So looking for shoes with the thickest Vibram heels ever with extreme heal supination in mind
Hi James, thanks for the video! What shoe whould you recommend for long city walking? I walk around 25000 steps a day. My only requirement is good heel drop and cushinging.
Good morning I was just wondering what would you do or which shoe would be best for someone that has one foot that's trying to get up onion and getting a red spot on the small toe and I've tried putting Band-Aids and I've tried those corn removers but it's not really a corn is just terrible tenderness
Hi James looking for an roomy large inside shoe depth with lower heel to toe drop 6 -8 but NOT rocker bottom I have metatarsal issues and some new sesamoid problems. Brook ghost max felt good but eventually rocker bottom bothered lower leg muscles and ankle. I am a 4 E width at least. Brooks were very roomy but rocker bottom a problem. Hoka 4e a little too narrow. Thank you. James S
Hi James, I’m a dog walker I walk about 6-10 dogs a day 30 per dog. I can’t find a shoes that works best for me could you recommend a shoe for me to try?
Hi. I have constant foot pain on the top of my foot as well as bunions and think that I have pronation. Which shoe is best for me to stablize the foot in the shoe and yet be comfortable. Thanks.
@@james_mccormack ...can you just tell me of the ones you reviewed above, which would keep the foot from rolling side to side and is the most cushioned.
Hi , thank you for the info you put out . I wanted to know which shoes do you recommend for me having flat feet but also has plantar fasciitis? I have try different shoes claiming to be great for the plantar fasciitis but after a week or so I’m still in pain whenever I get up after sitting a while my left feet shoots pain in my heel and it’s hard to walk it off after a while walking back and forth I have pain in my feets knees and lower back I’ve seen a podiatrist he gave me brands to buy from but it’s been hard for me he said the shoes can’t roll up has to be only the the toes part of the shoes bent if you have any suggestions it would be great I don’t wanna keep spending and no results
Hi, I was wondering what you would recommend for someone with haglunds? I imagine a soft heel generally but not sure about heel drop, any specific models come to mind? Thanks
@@james_mccormack They are listed as walking shoe on reebok page. If you could have a look and share your opinion about them, it would be great. They are more affordable for people like me, but i dont know if they help my PF
Am confused i thought higher heel drop is better for metartarsal pain or mortons neuroma - but are you saying its better to have lower heel drop so that there isnt such a higher cushioning at the back of the shoe? I'm trying to find support for morton's neuroma , slight overpronation and support for ankles for achiclles tendon issue - which trainers would you recommend?
@@james_mccormack thank you for the reply! Do you mean 6-8mm heel drop is not so good as this will give hiher forefoot plantar pressure? I was looking at the Asics GT-2000 12 trainers which has 8mm heel drop designed for neutral to overpronation. Is that heel drop on the Asics GT-2000 12 too high for forefoot plantar pressure? Or perhaps the Hoka Arahi 7 is better suited with a 5mm heel drop as a stability shoe?
It's hard to give a specific opinion as some features in shoes help with different aspects but its only part of the equation. Foot shape, stuctural limitations and alterations in gait all contribute and this is where an assessment is truely helpful for direct advice. They are both excellent shoes. We normally recommend a wide shoe with a forefoot rocker for conditions like morton's neuroma
I want foam waking and all the day on foot shoe. My foot arch hurts me if I wear any arch support shoes or any shoes that has arch mate. I feel comfortable with shoes that are flat. Which shoe you recommend for me please?
Hello James, I'm hyper mobile which means i've flat feet & custom orthotics, Ive read that a supportive shoe could make me over correct? How do I find a shoe thats rigid enough to support my ankles but not going to cause me to overcorrect?
My podiatrist told me I should be wearing a running shoe with an important heel drop (I have flat feet and I overpronate) with the back of the shoe being rigid so my ankle doesn't move too much. What would you recommend?
8mm is not too much. I fractured 3 metatarsal bones in my left foot and when I transitioned back into a regular athletic shoe, after being in a walking boot for 6 weeks, I wore a 12mm drop shoe (Orthofeet Kita). My orthopedist highly approved of it. 8mm is considered average, not high drop at all.
I have lower arches and real wide feet. Need good stability, what do you recommend. I was leaning toward brooks beast, I’m a big guy almost 300 pounds.

Great shoe 👌
Initially I like the shoe feel like you walking on clouds but it didn't last for me after one month the shoe start leaning
@Det1911 same here, after 2 months the soles are leaning and worn down to the foam.
They’re not known for their durability and that is one of the reasons they’re not on our recommendation list.
Hi James, what's the best shoe for overweight (270 lbs) for walking and with lots of cushion to reduce impact. thanks
HOKA or NB FOR WALKING
Can you do a video for the best walking shoes under $99 because.... I can't even. They are all clear outside my budget.
Will do over the next month 👍
Skechers! They have a great cushioned walking shoe

Any of the shoes I discuss with high heel drop should have sufficient cushioning

minimalist shoes and a very high heel drop = higher forefoot plantar pressure

forefoot rocker reduces forefoot load

Hello James, I'm hyper mobile which means i've flat feet & custom orthotics, Ive read that a supportive shoe could make me over correct? How do I find a shoe thats rigid enough to support my ankles but not going to cause me to overcorrect?
We often recommend the ghost or adrenaline to our patients with orthotics due to the firm sole
My podiatrist told me I should be wearing a running shoe with an important heel drop (I have flat feet and I overpronate) with the back of the shoe being rigid so my ankle doesn't move too much. What would you recommend?
I discuss both of these in the video
What about on cloud?
Good shoe - narrow fit
is an 8 mm drop to much for a metatarsil bursitis injury?
it is quite a lot, the hoka clifton 9 in a wider fit may help ease your pain. It's 4mm drop with a thicker midsole.
but see his other videos, it was in his video of metatarsalgia shoes
8mm is not too much. I fractured 3 metatarsal bones in my left foot and when I transitioned back into a regular athletic shoe, after being in a walking boot for 6 weeks, I wore a 12mm drop shoe (Orthofeet Kita). My orthopedist highly approved of it. 8mm is considered average, not high drop at all.
i read running shoes tilt foot forward and thus not good for walkers - is that a legit concern?
I don't believe so. Walking shoes often have a higher drop than running shoes.
@@james_mccormackPlus walking shoes are heavier.
Best for sciatica?
Walking rid me of sciatica. Good luck finding a comfortable yet durable shoe.
I have lower arches and real wide feet. Need good stability, what do you recommend. I was leaning toward brooks beast, I’m a big guy almost 300 pounds.
Did you ever end up buying new shoes?
Not yet
Best shoe for those with instep pain?
We have a video on shoes posterior tibial tendonitis that covers this
For supinate step what shoe work better?
Unfortunately I can’t provide direct advice
A neutral shoe, like Brooks Ghost. Or try Orthofeet shoes.
These all seem to be called walking shoes. I thought these recommendations were walking shoes?
All of these shoes are appropriate for walking.
Is the NB 860 an evolution of the older 856 & 857 or a different shoe on its own?
Different shoe but some of the same stability features
@@james_mccormack If you don't mind, 860 vs 880 for 90 minute daily pavement walks?
@@alanhamford2538 The 860 is a stability shoe and the 880 is neutral so it comes down to how much support one feels they need
suggestions for - shoe does not bend along with leg, press / lines between balls .
