My new Merrell walking shoes have been delivered this morning and I love them. I suffer from drop foot due to a brain injury and Merrell are the only brand I have found that have enough flexibility to allow me to lift my toes and prevent my foot from dragging. They are expensive but I have managed to find a pair on EBay for £25, brand new and still in the box.

I always buy Merrell walking shoes and they last for years and so comfortable never any blisters! £25 is a bargain well done. I like Sketchers for casual wear but not serious walking.

You got a real bargain! I like Merrell boots and shoes but have a long narrow foot and so they are never quite the right fit for me. I currently have Salomon walking shoes and Berghaus boots, both excellent, but the best boots I ever owned were Meindl Lady Pro. Like wearing comfy slippers and never let me down on any terrain. Can’t afford them now, sadly.

I tried Skechers slip ons but they were so uncomfortable around the heel. Not for me. I do have a great pair of Skechers without the slip on.
My go to walking shoe will always be Nike. Have several pairs and only end up in the bin when the white ones turn grey.

Ah! Yes Nike. They had a trainer called Wear All Days but sadly they are no longer making them.
They were like walking on a cloud, comfortable immediately, never cold, never sweaty, never got wet, work on my feet all day then walk to and from work. Just plain black but so very good, wore them 3 years.
Just wish they’d make some more🥲
