What is the best athletic shoe for an overweight woman?

owl

Any overweight women know of a really comfortable athletic shoe that is good for walking for long periods of time? I'm having trouble finding a comfortable shoe that won't make my feet hurt while walking. And also one that isn't absolutely hideous.

Try buying shoes in a wider size. Plus size clothing stores like avenue, fashion bug, lane bryant, catherines, catos, ect. Have athletic shoes available in double wide as well. You can also check ebay. I found when I started exercising to lose weight most shoes were actually very comfortable, but after walking my feet leaned to the outside and it was uncomfortable. After buying a decent pair of tennis shoes in a wider size that fixed the problem. I didn't have to buy anything expensive, but you should if you want them to last longer and wear better.

I need a good pair of shoes for work, any suggestions?

I am a preschool teacher and I stay on my feet all day. I'm also a little overweight. I've been wearing a pair of Sketchers casual shoes (called Women's Bikers - Point Blank) but my feet are killing me. I love the look of my Sketchers, but I think they are killing my feet. I feel like I'm developing a tailor's bunion and the tips of my big toes are numb. Obviously, I need better shoes! But before I invest a good chunk of money on a pair of shoes, I am looking for suggestions.

I have suffered from plantar fasciitis in the past and it flares up occasionally, I'm fairly sure I am developing a tailor's bunion on the side of my right foot, and the tips of both of my big toes are constantly numb (but the color of my toes is good, they look normal). I'm on my feet all day at work. I wear a lot of khakis and I dress more casually, but I don't think athletic sneakers would really be work appropriate. Does anyone have any suggestions for nice looking (please, no nurses shoes), casual but work appropriate shoes that will help me feet? Remember, too, I'm just a preschool teacher so I doubt I can spring for shoes over $100 (without saving for a couple of months first, LOL).

Thanks in advance :)
I can't afford a trip to a podiatrist. I have no medical insurance (I teach preschool at a private school and make not much more than minimum wage). I haven't been on a vacation in years and I have the same TV I had when I was in high school 12 years ago (no flat screen here). I don't get to indulge in luxuries in my life in my present job (I'm looking for other employment, but so far, no luck). If I want to see a podiatrist, I'll have to save up for months and months. I'd kinda like to get a decent pair of shoes in the mean time.

Try Aerosoles....very comfy and fashionable shoes. Reasonably priced too. Good luck!
