    My shoes have always supported me best and lasted longest when I have gone and had them fitted specifically for my feet. My last pair were Nike, now I wear Adidas - I personally require a lot of padding as I have very high arches and my new pair have extra padding in the back as well which supports me well since I heel strike. Highly recommend foot locker or similar. Luck!

    A few people have hit on the best answer here, and it is basically that we cant help you much :wink:

    1. you need to decide what you need your shoes for. Getting a pair of running shoes will be very different than for doing a lot of weightlifting (eg most sneakers have a raised heel which is not advisable for a lot of exercises).

    2. Once you have identified the main purpose of the shoes please see a specialist store to get fitted. It is underrestimated but the feet affect the rest of our bodies so much, it is not something you want to get wrong.

    Happy shopping! :happy:
