I like to walk every day but am finding existing trainers don’t give me adequate support. I have arthritis in one knee and really want to exercise every day. I am not intending to go on hikes or a long distance. Any ideas for suitable footwear appreciated.

Another vote for Merrell - and they last a long time too!

My Hotters arrived yesterday. Gortex, nice colours available. I think there was 20% off.

muse I would say the Hotter Gortex are waterproof for about 3 years of daily use. These are the same as the replacements I showed after 4 years or so. Time for the bin.

Skechers are my favourite shoes for walking. They're so comfortable, light as air, but not sure whether they would give enough support.

I wear them indoors and out but the podiatrist I see does not recommend them.
She did concede they are 'better than slippers' for indoors.

Merrell, Meindl are firmer but take a bit of getting used to.

DD recommended Brookes but I haven't tried them and I think they are more for running.

Old thread (but useful)

I wear Hotter goretex too. I find them very comfortable.
