Perseverance Pays Off

My feet have several challenges.  I have a frozen toe joint in my right foot and a huge bunion on the left foot.  Plus both feet are double wide.  Because we do a lot of walking when we travel, however, I really don't want to give up walking as a fitness option.  And I seem to be doing OK.

Even though we used the public transportation in Paris a lot this last trip, we still walked several miles every day.  And I was pleased to be nearly pain-free for most of it.  Plus any little discomfort I had was easily fixed by taking a break and an ibuprofen pill.

I, therefore, decided to keep up my walking regimen when we returned.  But I really needed a true fitness walking shoe, so I started another online search.  I'd looked for walking shoes many times before, but always ended up ditching or returning them.

This time I ended up taking a chance on the Easy Spirit Romy and I'm thrilled to report it works great for me.  I now finally have a shoe that gives me support and bounce when I hit the sidewalk for my brisk neighborhood walk.

Unless you've walked in my shoes (pun intended), you have no idea what a big deal finding a comfortable shoe is.  Believe me it's huge and I'm glad I persevered!
