Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 I really have a barrier about walking - I get most of my exercise from swimming and dancing. But it would help if I could get myself walking more. I have very wide hips and not very long legs, and just to un-help more my Achilles tendons are short in the back of my heels and I have almost no spring in my feet! All together walking is uncomfortable and hard work. I watch my lean 6ft husband stride out on long legs with great envy! It always was hard for me to walk not being shaped right. When I was younger (under 40 before I was ill) and not especially overweight I did walk everywhere even though I didn't love it. But the weight has just added to all the lifelong reasons why I'm nt well designed for walking! I have GREAT difficulty finding shoes - very broad feet and a high arch too. Most shoes I just get them on let alone get comfortable. I walk barefoot a lot but over longer distances or at night when I cant scan the ground for safety, or in very cold weather, even I need shoes! Any advice welcome. Quote
