Hello all,
I'm new to the forum and hope you can help....Yes, it's the usual question about walking shoes, but with a slight twist, I couldn't find an answer on other posts so maybe you guys have the answer!
Myself and my husband set off to walk coast to coast across America in October, that's 3,000 miles (it seemed like a good idea when we first thought of it!), hopefully raising a bit of money for a good cause (I won't go on about that here as I know it's the wrong place).
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. We'll be walking mainly on roads, and walking boots just aren't any good, too heavy and inflexible for this type of walking we've found. We're looking for a bit of advice on good alternatives. They need to be waterproof, with good support, light and flexible. We've been walking about 8 miles a day (to and from work) in London by way of training, in trainers but have found a couple of problems with this...
Firstly, none-too waterproof! Secondly, not great support for our very tired feet!
Really hope you're able to help.
Lucy & Nick
