What brands of footwear hit it for you?
Reebok for tenny runners/weight lifting/cross training.
Danners for duty boots.
NuuSol’s for flops. American made and nice.
Doc Marten’s and Hey Dudes for casual.

I have wide feet. All those companies have wides but NuuSol. But, if you pull on the straps a little they stretch out pretty good.

I love my 9" Wolverine workbooks, wear them almost everyday, all day. A new pair doesn't require break-in, just put them on and go, at least that's my experience.

Nice to see someone else wears Reeboks. One large shoe store here has huge stocks of the more common brands yet just a few styles by Reebok. Pricks Sporting Goods used to carry Reebok but I havn't shopped there in many years.

You are right on Wolverines and I've had many pairs. They come from the box comfortable. The Sears in Eastgate, Ohio has closed so they are harder to find now

Work boots -- Rocky S2V steel toes

Running shoes - Asics Gel Kayano; was a Nike guy for years but about 20 years ago I switched to Asics and never looked back.

Flip flops are a toss up between Reef Fannings and Olukais.

House shoes -- Olukai slippers (OMG they are comfortable, I highly recommend)

Hiking boots -- Either Merrell M2s or Asolo's

Dress Shoes -- Bjorn or Keen chukkas

I get all mine from Reebok’s website. About a million different styles. Stuff you never see in stores and free shipping over 49.95. If you sign up for emails they have sales all the time.

For the past 50 years, New Balance walking shoes. I used to be able to wear Danner Rain Forest boots when working in the yard, but now I have to wear an AFO (ankle and foot orthotic), which works very well with NB, so it is NB all the time. I rotate the older pair for yard work.

I was asking a similar question here recently. I've not been happy with New Balance lately. But I'm not buying the USA made sneakers.

Anyhow here's the thread. I am likely buying the Brooks black walking sneakers posted.

Keen.
For some reason, due to Keen's rounded toe shape,they fit me better than other brands with more pointed toe shapes. They discontinued my favorite style some time back, so I have to search through their offerings carefully.

Keen shoes from the Keen store are kind of spends, so I try to catch sales.

Merrell shies are the best for my feet. I wear them all day while at work and during hiking. I wish the made hunting boots!!

Red Wing boots.
I have 2 pairs, one is for work and the other is for out of work. Both are steel toed as I'm comfortable with them.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

A lot of people still speak highly here of Red Wing boots. We have a store near by and I will try a pair. They are pricey. Not sure if for work or outdoor wear. Also, I had the New Balance 608s which I liked for the easy to get wide width. I hated to wear them out at that Flea Market black top but the NB 608s were very comfortable. Price was good too.

I like the Reebok site and have their phone app. Lots to choose from there.

Curious if you found something that works good for you. If not, take a look at the Reebok line. Their walking shoes are excellent.

I have the Brooks in my cart but I will look at Reebok before I pull the trigger. I'm going on vacation so my ordering will have to wait about 1.5 weeks.

I am retired and on the advice of my foot surgeon, I only wear New Balance.
