It was the best thing I ever did. My husband and I both went and we haven't looked back (well I have due to an old injury) but I walk and train in my running shoes. They are the best shoes I have ever gotten. They will set you back $100 or so but I don't think you will regret it. Best wishes with this, no matter what you decide about shoes.
