I also wear the inserts in my favorite Paul Green wedge metallic high top sneakers (sorry, no Find for them). Both have gone the distance for sightseeing during travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386510 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 03:42:00 +0000 shemarie 1386510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I second the New Balance retro sneaker suggestion.&nbsp; I have some and I love them...comfortable for a day of walking (though I would never run or otherwise really workout in them) I like that they can be worn in a "sporty-luxe" trendy type of way...JCrew and Athleta both&nbsp;sell them and style them in fun ways, and in fun colorways, but you can buy them on Amazon or at DSW, etc. also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386439 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 02:18:25 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1386439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the 'fashion sneakers' are often pretty flat in the sole and not super-supportive. I've always found Vans (the lace-up ones) pretty sturdy, compared to something like Cons which have always felt too lightweight when I've tried them on. New Balance makes some retro-styled sneakers that are nonetheless designed for actual physical activity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386189 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 19:56:23 +0000 always trying 1386189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anything called 'fashion sneakers" are, most likely, not what you want.&nbsp; to get the right shoe for the support and built for the activity, you have to get athletic shoes. and ones for your particular activity, running, cross trainers, walking etc.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These are not the fashionable ones you mostly see on pinterest, etc. They&nbsp;mostly are the ones with the color combinations, bright colors, etc.&nbsp; You may try some Merrill and Dr. schools walking shoes that can sort of pass as fashion sneakers that are cushioned and offer some support.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386139 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:52:18 +0000 Anonymous 1386139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ann. There are sooo many options, and I love them all! &nbsp;I'm an old-school sneaker fan from way back. &nbsp;My favourites for a winter look are the old-school (sorry, there is that phrase again) Adidas Gazelle. &nbsp;They're suede, with a white bottom, and look modern , clean and streamlined. &nbsp;The black suede with white stripes is a classic, and there is also a navy suede pair with navy leather stripes on a taupe-y sole that are great too! &nbsp;Good solid walking shoes. </p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386126 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:24:37 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1386126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlene1, the choices are myriad and you haven't indicated which style you prefer. The only way to ensure support is to get a specific athletic shoe (running, walking, basketball&nbsp;etc.), as the skater-type slip ons, Converse and other old school high and low tops are usually pretty flat inside. &nbsp;They usually have some amount of padding though, depending on whether they are thin sole (like Keds from back in the day) or relatively thick soled.&nbsp;Also, orthotics are an option,&nbsp;as Deb has indicated.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386115 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:09:11 +0000 deb 1386115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlene, I have foot and leg issues and add these inserts to my sneakers and they work great. They also come in full length. I cut the full length pair to the shape of the toe box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386109 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 17:58:15 +0000 crutcher 1386109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok...maybe not sneaks but excellent shoes for walking and look cool also...<br />Asics Gel Kahana 7 Performance Trail Shoes...I have these and I absolutely love them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-please-recommend-sneakers#post-1386094 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 17:46:15 +0000 Marlene1 1386094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TexStyle's post (blogger look with sneakers) has prompted me to ask for recommendations for cool sneakers with good arch support and cushioning.&nbsp; Do they exist?&nbsp; I'd love some for travel, but it seems the cool sneaks are light on comfort.&nbsp; Thanks! </p>
