They are great for driving a Honda Accord too. Get a better feel for the brake and accelerator pedal.Love Ecco shoes.
There are good Skechers on Amazon for $50-60
Try Altras. They have nice wide toe boxes.I strongly dislike the high stack and high drop characteristics of so many running/jogging shoes today. I’m looking for a low stack, low drop, wide toe box shoe for jogging and walking. I’ve tried Hokas and Brooks but that don’t fit my feet well and I count feel the ground. I might try Zeros but I hear that’s a big adjustment coming from most shoes today. In any case, you (and I) have to go to Runners World or something similar and try many brands on.
Yes. Used to only run in Brooks. Tried Hokas (Speed Goat) and will never go back to Brooks. But I've seen Brooks is now making shoes like Hoka.If you don’t have issues with your feet by your mid 70’s be thankful. I ran during my 20’s through early 60’s….5k’s and 10k’s were almost a weekly thing. After tearing my knee that era ended. Nike’s , New Balance, ASICS were ….and now the Hoka’s are my best friend.
Hoka Bondi is one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. New Balance 990's are great too. If you are talking about dress shoes - Mephistos were amazing. They were very expensive up front, but they had a resole program which made your shoe feel like new - not sure if they have that anymore.Been wearing Hoka’s for several years now. Works for my old tired feet and arthritic toes.The reality is no matter what good shoe you wear old feet hurt.
"Zero Drop" hiking/running shoes aren't for everyone, and require a transition or intro-adjustment period of sorts. I've known quite a few in the long-distance hiker community who swear by them and an equal amount who swear at them. Best approach, go to a real running store and consult with a specialist there, short of seeing a podiatrist.I strongly dislike the high stack and high drop characteristics of so many running/jogging shoes today.

Thank you, I’ve heard and read the same thing regarding transition. Maybe a lower drop and stack (but not to zero) would be best for me.
