I've said it before and I'll say it again. Shoes are very personal. What works for others may not work for you. The only way to know if a shoe will work for you is to use it. If the shoe makes your feet or legs hurt--don't use it. Find one you like and keep using it. Also, replace your shoes often. You cannot do enough to protect your legs and feet--if they break down, you are done.

This is the voice of exerience. Bad shoes (converse for me) lead to plantar fasciaitis (sp?) and eventually foot surgery (OUCH!! ) Take care of your shoes!!
