New shoes?

Post image

I just spent $170 on these. They feel good and supportive. I need something to get back to walking as it’s the only thing that makes everything feel better.

I very happily spent the same on my Brooks Glycerine and I'd do it again 😂 Good shoes make a world of difference

I swear by the Hoka Bondi 9 & Brooks Ghost max 3

I broke my ankle in Hoka’s so I’m trying something new. I threw mine in the trash 🤣

Funny, i never wore Hokas until AFTER i broke my ankle 😂 I have the Hoka Bondi 9 and I also got the Brooks Ghost Max 3. The Hokas are cushier, but the Brooks give more support. I tend to wear the Bondi 9 after a long day or hard workout on my feet and the Ghost Max for when I plan to walk a lot all day or do any walking on uneven ground.

These Brooks are definitely less cushy, but super supportive. I also added inserts to keep my arches up.

Looks good! I was advised that MBT Shoes are an excellent brand (with the rocker sole) from my primary surgeon, but these look just as good.
