I was just wondering if anyone knows a good brand of sneakers for walking on the treadmill (I hope to be up to running at some future point). I tend to wear out the back of my shoes, which causes some uncomfortable blisters.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    If possible, you should go to a shoe store that watches you walk and gets you fitted correctly. Since I've gotten proper fitted running shoes, I've noticed a definite difference. Try to find someone who can watch you walk and tell you what kind of support you need and where.

    Thanks for the info! I think I'll pop into an athletic shoe store.

    Stere clear of toning shoes! You need stability on the treadmill. You should take someone with you when you shop, maybe a sister?

    Have you tried Nike Shox?

    Is that a subtle hint, my dear?

    Okay, you can come along...you'll keep me from being totally bamboozled.

    I haven't. I usually buy whatever athletic shoes are on sale, so I am a total novice when it comes to picking out good shoes. But thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely take a look at those sneakers.
