feet and can tell you what ones are best. Make sure and check their closeout/sale table as sometimes you can find last yr's model there which is practically the same but cheaper.

They have a wide base and different types of support depending on number and what you need. Looking at the bottom, I felt like they were little kids tennies, but the wide base was great.

I got a case of plantar fasciitis trying to exercise barefoot and they were wonderful. Much better than any trainer I've had.

My kid got shin splints yrs ago and our local store had Saucony which are also very good. Again they are lightweight but very good at what they do which is help heal and not hurt.
