Looking for a comfy walking shoe

[tyates]

I developed a heel spur on both my feet and am looking for a comfy casual stylish shoe that is durable and lightweight and have some sort of heel cushioning. I'm not looking for anything too expensive (under $200), just something I can bum around in.

I like the ecco strike tie oxfords :

From past posts, it seems like there are a lot of negatives about eccos, but I like these shoes.

Is there anything else I should consider? Can someone comment on the durability of these ecco shoes?

I walk probably 6-8 miles 5 days a week, and I've found the key to being comfortable is: a. getting shoes that fit (seriously, most people wear shoes too big/too small), wearing thick comfortable socks and letting your feet toughen up. I own Fred Perry sneakers, Clark's Desert Boots, adidas, nike and topsiders, and they're all equally comfortable once broken in. That said, the shoes tht were most comfortable right off the bat were probably the adidas.

I have lots of lots of sneakers. And the most comfortable, I've found, for walking around, are Neil Barrett Chuck-a-likes. Seriously comfortable. And they look great to boot. I got my two pairs at deep, deep discount, off yoox, and the Ebayed pairs are asking for ridiculous prices, but if you come on a pair for under $200, I'd jump. They run about a size large.

Check out the casual shoes from Born. bornshoes.com They have a good selection. I find them to be very comfortable walking shoes. Here's the pair I currently have.

Heel spurs are very uncomfortable and I'd certainly pass you from the whole "tough it out" talk. I don't have any specific recommendations to you unfortunately, but most of the brands listed seem good.

Wish you the best, and if it becomes the cause of excessive agony in from day to day there are some treatment options, and at worse, surgery.

You can also try getting some really supportive insoles and putting them in shoes. Also, I cannot recommend getting good thick running socks enough. Makes a world of difference.

I really recommend New Balance 574.. the most comfortable shoes for walking ive had, and alot of cushioning.

get the new balance 992... even more comfortable in my estimation

My preference is AE's Wilbert model. Seconds can be had for well under $200, through AE's factory store system.

Try Saucony, they are amazingly comfortable and feel really good for your feet.
There not the best looking unfortunately but amazing gym/running shoes.
