I have started walking the two miles to DS school but I am getting shooting pains in my feet/ lower legs so think it must have something to do with my crap shoes! what good walking shoes do people recommend - I want to be able to wear them all year round so with trousers or a long skirt!

Hi Maclaren was going to suggest Nike trainers I have they were only £25 fom JJB Sports but obv not suitable with skirt LOL.

I am a size 8 so know it can be a pain an I have blardy wide feet too soPITA. Will have a look and see for you

Size 9 walking trainers here but might not go so well with skirts.

There are quite a few women's size 9 here too. I know you asked for recommendations but it depends enormously on your feet. I wear MBTs a lot for distances up to 5 miles but my Karrimor walking boots for anything further.

Forget the skirts and wear proper walking shoes like these, or Merrell ones or Rachle or similar. You'll wonder how you managed without them!

New Balance are good for wide feet, and they come in different widths. They are trainers though so not great with skirts or smart trousers.

Do you have a proper running shop anywhere nearby? They can be very helpful for getting a proper fit and correcting a poor gait.

Thanks Ladies I have ordered a pair of these New balance for my wide hobbit feet :)
