Saucony’s. Period. Due to years of ball playing and running track and cross country, I developed arthritis in my big toes so bad it was bone on bone. I eventually had the joints replaced in both big toes. I tried other good walking/running shoes, but Saucony’s are the absolute best. I’ve been pain free for 5 years Read more

Be VERY careful with the shoes that screwed up my legs: ASICS GT-2000 2. Got fitted for these for a mild overpronation.
