Thinking about walking the 3 day 60 mile breast cancer walk. What would be the best type of shoes for me?

Jennie

I will be training in them too so that way they will be broken in by the time I do the walk. I am so clueless when it comes to stuff like this so any help would be appreciated!

Answer
There are lots of shoes you can get, running sneakers are good for that. They won't get broken that easily. It's not such a big deal, just make sure they are comfortable, strong and cushioning. If you go to Adidas or Nike website you will even get filters that will help you find them.
I wanted to join that walk but I won't be able to :( GOOD LUCK with it!!!

How to wear out/down shoes in 3 days?

Ally

I am going hiking in 3 days and I've just recently bought my hiking shoes and I haven't wore them yet. I need to wear them out before I hike so I don't get blisters. I know It was stupid of me to not wear them -.- (I have a pair of Hi-Tecs)

Answer
You would need to start walking around in them now and the problem with that is you would just get the blisters before you went on the hike. I suggest you bring what you need to deal with blisters with you on the hike and tape the tender parts prior to starting (which you should be familiar with from walking around in them now).

How much walking a day is super beneficial?

I try to walk 3 miles a day if I can--is that enough to really get great health benefits or do people walk even more? Do you use a pedometer?

Answer
I use a pedometer. Any walking
is beneficial. If you are doing it
properly and wearing the right
type of shoes.
I started off at 3 miles a day.
Now it's 3 miles twice a day.
How far you walk and how fast,
depends on your current weight
and health. Any is better than none.
It's a heart thing........for me anyway.
My goal is 6 miles twice a day. I'm
saving up for a tread mill, for bad weather.

How soon before a big walk should I buy and break in new shoes?

Princess

I am doing the Breast Cancer 3-Day and want to know how soon I should break my shoes in before the walk but I don't want to wear them out before the walk either.

Answer
Depends on how comfortable and how well the shoes fit to begin with. I would wear them for a few hours everyday for at least a week. Wear some thick socks for the 3-Day walk and always have band aides on hand just in case. Really nice that you are participating in such a worthwhile cause....thank you and have fun!

When I buy a pair of shoes that "Are not leather". My feet will blister and I do not know why?

best walking shoes for 3 day image

I just bought a brand new pair of Walking Shoes. And thought they were all leather. It took only 3 days until the blisters were forming on the bottom of both feet. Help!
Is there a way to find out what is in the shoes that make my feet break out? I spent 100.00 on shoes and had to throw them out.

Answer
Just about all new pairs of shoes will give you blisters if you don't break them in.

I'm going to assume that they're the right size for you, but to break shoes in, you need to walk around in them throughout your house, or short walks.

Don't buy a pair of shoes and wear them out for the whole day straight away, of course you'll get blisters.

However, if breaking them in isn't the problem, then chances are, that you might be sensitive to synthetic materials, are you wearing the type of socks that you usually wear? Do you only ever wear leather shoes? Or do you have a pair of sneakers that you wear to the gym?



The lining in synthetic shoes is usually made from polyester, nylon, acrylic or a combination of them.
Materials made from plastics.

It's not uncommon for people to get blisters from synthetic materials.
