Good morning, centre (@centre)

I was turned off Walkasins a year or two ago by the same things that have turned you off. However, I never pursued Walkasins as determinately as you have; I allowed myself to be swayed by the negative reports I received from various Connect members.

I find it interesting that the brand of shoe that is giving you some relief is Brooks (a “world of difference,” you say). Brooks were my go-to shoes in the last seven or eight years of my running life. They remained my favorite until a knee replacement put the kibosh on running altogether.

What I’ve never considered trying is a “gait analysis.” Your message has me thinking, thinking … As soon as my sepsis foot wound is healed and I’m able to wear shoes again (it’s been over 80 days since I was last able to wear any shoes), I’m going to look into getting a gait analysis.

I hope you’re having an enjoyable weekend!
