I'm using various shoes, from my comfy crocs fleece slippers when I get down here early in the AM, to my MBT walkers, too. I vary what I wear, depending on the number of hours I'm treading, too; long days I wear both my Brooks running-walking shoe...
So far I have just been wearing an old pair of running shoes, and they're ok, but I need some new ones. I've got to say, as much as I hate the commercial, I'm thinking about saving up for a pair of Reebok Easytones (or trying to find them cheap on...
I actually love the MBTs, but not for treadmill desk walking. Bare feet don't do it for me; I need more cushioning. (Definitely agree on the wool socks.)
I have a pair of crocs, and those w/ thick socks seem pretty good. I alternate those w/ New ...
I have been having heel pain lately. I need to replace my shoes, I guess. No problems with the hips. I typically go 1.5 mph. I'm just typing or point / clicking.
Perhaps alternate a bit more, sitting for an hour / walking for an hour. I hate alwa...
I haven't. I did test out the Walkstation sit-to-stand desk. While large, it is excellent. It was too large for my purposes, so I bought a separate height-adjustable desk plus a Treaddesk treadmill, and can either sit or stand / walk by adjusting ...
Well, Ive now tried the MBT's and can say they were NOT for me.
They gave me problems from the very start but luckily I was able to resell them. They made my hips really sore like I've never experienced before in my life. Also tricky to use them w...
Congratulations!
I just found this page:
http://www.drpribut.com/sports/walkingshoe_fit.html
where he says 6 to 9 months for walking shoes. He isn't expecting 10 miles a day of walking, though. But then again we are walking slowly, which reduces the impact on the ...
A separate desk & treadmill would certainly meet your adjustable desk requirement. Your treadmill requirement, though, is harder to reach. My only experience is with the TreadDesk and the Walk Station. Walk Station only comes with the desk attache...
What style MBTs did you get?
My electricity use has actually gone down due to some other measures I have taken (turning power strips off, mostly) so the impact must be fairly small. You can buy one of those Kill-A-Watt devices to measure the electricity use of the items in yo...
Congratulations!!!!
I will have to check those shoes out. Never heard of Five Fingers! I have a pair of birkenstocks, but not sure how well this would work walking all day.
Thin wool socks are my favorite type, and seem to avoid foot odor. I don't wear the same pair...
hey those Five Fingers shoes (surfing booties) seemed pretty cool so I put on my stored surf booties that are pretty similar and am currently walking in them now :P and yes they are comfortable indeed, funny that, who would of thought.
Also had a ...
I have put 200 miles on my Vibram Five Fingers ("barefoot" shoes with toes). For the 800 miles that I used my Spira springy shoes and some skateboard shoes. Once my feet and calves got used to the barefooting it is great (shoes take away a great d...
Hey,
this is a great topic indeed as I have been getting sore feet or recent times.
So I also did some research and found these shoes to be very popular:
Dansko
Crocs
birkenstocks
earth shoes
But I'm thinking of getting some runners with good pa...
