Looking for some new sneaker shows and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

 

I tend to do a lot of walking (10,000+ steps a day) and have found that I tend to wear out my shoes every 6 months.

 

Looking for like Size 12/13, have tended to go for New Balance shoes the last few years but am open to suggestions (or whether I need to go somewhere like Shoe Clinic).

 

These would tend to be used for walking/day-to-day use.

 

Based in the Wellington region but am possibly open to looking at Online (however I do prefer to try them on before buying)

So I ended up visiting the local Shoe Clinic and going through the Fitting Session stuff.

 

Ended up walking out with some New balance Fresh Foam 880v11 Shoes, which felt comfortable and will be interesting to see how they last (considering I was wearing New Balance Shoes which were only about 5 months old and the sales-person was surprised how worn out they were). Was interesting to see the technologies they use to figure what types of shoes are best.

 

Also got some Drymax Socks which are meant to help when walking and being active in shoes, will be interesting to see how they go. Hopefully my feet will thank me in the future.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, will have to revisit this post in a few months and let you know how they are going 😀
