MBTs/sketchers shape ups/fit flops vs good trainers for walking?

What would you choose? I need to lose a stone and a half (DD2 is 11 weeks old and I have serious work to do). I don't want to run due to a bad back so need something I can walk fast in that ideally supports me and doesnt make my back worse. My posture is awful so the MBT type things appeal but there again trainers may be more versatile.

Oh and MBTs are in administration so I can only buy online which I didnt want to do. Trainers I can get fitted but the ones I just tried were £100!

Reebok ones are good.

Skechers look like the old wedge trainer that was about when spice girls were popular, they are not nice!

something like this would be ideal check out tk max

Yes they do don't they! I had a pair in fact, white trainer platform things worn with neon green top and white mini, lovely!

So just reebok trainers or are they trainer shoes you mean? Shoe styles do appeal as they'd look normal ish to walk to school etc in. But ultimately I guess I just need the cushhioning and support whichever I go for.

Reebok easytone our something along those lines.

A friend has the skechers and they look terribly cheap.

Hadn't heard of reebok easytone thanks! Will google now.

So desperate to lose weight but so hungry with the breastfeeding I am hoping walking will at least help a bit. Probably need to join slimming world or similar too though I think.
