Today I did a short (35 minute) aerobic walk through my neighborhood at my patented 3mph on a new pair of shoes -- New Balance 880v7 distance running shoes. First impressions are very positive. For a few years now my shoe of choice for walking has been running shoes, and for me the best has been New Balance. These new ones feel great. They allow a lot of feedback from the road (or sidewalk lol) yet are very nicely cushioned. Rock on, Garth!
