Type of Shoes

[BeeLvr]

Question......I like to get out and walk. Lately, I've been incorporating a bit of a run (nothing fast, nothing long) during the walk - like interval training. Should I be using shoes made for specifically walking or running?

Heather,
If you run more than a mile or two, even cross trainers aren't the best for you and you should invest in running shoes. I wouldn't run in walking shoes at all; figure that it's okay to walk in running shoes but not run in walking shoes.
HTH,

Heather, the salesman at the New Balance store told me that you should not wear walking shoes to run, but you can always wear running shoes to walk. So stick to trying on running shoes that feel good to you.

ETA: I see that Amyg and I had the same advice! Good. Now you won't be confused.

Thanks for your responses. I have a pair of running shoes, but they need replacing. Hurry-up Payday!!!!



Much appreciated!
