What is your favorite brand of sneakers now? Do they help you walk more?

I bough my first pair of sneakers over 40 years ago. They were Puma and I bought them in Switzerland. They did not have them in Chile then. At least, not as good. Then I found Adidas and later on Nikes. Some were good and some no so perfect. But all of them were far better than the sneakers of my youth.
All that, until a couple of years ago I discovered Sketchers. Just as I found a new language when internet started, I now can talk about 'memory foam' and know for sure that I can walk more with my old feet.
My Sketchers proved to be saviours in my trip to Mexico. Although stairs were still a mayor challenge, I walked for hours inside the Museum of Anthropology and was able to go from the Pyramid of the Moon to the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan.
I haven´t yet written everything about my trip. But these sneakers made it posible

I like New Balance shoes because they have good soles, and my podiatrist recommended them.

I have one pair of soft sneakers but I do not have a specific brand. However with the weather here I just walk around in my comfortable Crocs which I have in several colors.

I suppose that if I lived in Florida, I´d use flip flops most of the time

I also have a pair of Sketchers that I like very much. My feet love them even more. 
The Nikes that I have are also good.

I bought my first pair of sneakers the first time I went to Europe. I would not have walked so much if I hadn´t them on.

@LadyDuck I started using sneakers always the first time I went to Europe, decades ago. They helped me walk.

@marguicha I buy comfortable shoes to walk, but I cannot walk with sneakers.

I love sketchers too. I also love Adidas. I have two pairs of Adidas and they are really comfortable.

These sneakers have nothing to do with the old ones.

They are awesome. And if you take good care of them, they last a lot.

I use cheap footwear in summer because I like flip flops. But in winter I need good footwear for my delicate feet.
