trainer advice

[Surreygirl30]

Hi guys,

I need to get some trainers that are black and have loads of cushioning on the heel as I have a heel injury. I am die to go on a walking holiday soon so really need something to help ease the pain when I walk. I haven't a clue about trainers and wondered if anyone has any good suggestions. Ideally I would like to use them for running when the injury has gone.

Thanks all

Hmmm, hello surrerygirl. I bought some timberland sandals which are really comfy. they do them inladies design too.
They cost �45 though, i dunno how much your willing to spend though...

hey MrBen5 and thanks i will have a look. i am not fussed about how much they cost, anything to help the pain i am in. x

the trainers i have now are Nike air and they are really comfy, but they cost me �120 from JD sports. they are black. I think they did them in the ladies design too and i am sure they were �20 cheaper.
Your better off going down really and trying a load of different ones on. Strange as it is, they do actually all feel different when you have them on, even though they look the same.If your not bothered about cost, then get some expensive ones as they are usually the best...

What type of walking are you doing? If it is in the hills, you would be better off going to an outdoor wear shop and buying something from there. They do multi activity footwear or running shoes designed for running in the hills which will give you the right sort of sole. Normal trainers probably wont offer enough grip or foot support for hills. I usually buy The North Face, Karrimor or Salomon, but I usually go for something a bit heavier as I walk and don't run, but The North Face do a good range of hill running trainers.

yes depending on what walking you are doing you may need something that protects the ankle too? We have a 'run4it' in my city and when you go in there it is a bit like being back when you got your shoes fitted as a child. They watch your feet walking without shoes and then get you to try various trainers and actually get whatever ones are the best fit for you/your requirements.
