Sugestion for good walking shoes for a 90-plus-year-old?

I went to the shoe store today and found an extremely helpful clerk. I decided on Mizuno Wave something. I tried it out this afternoon, and after some initial pain, I engaged my core and continued my walk. I think these will be okay. I must have tried out a dozen different shoes/brands! The clerk was incredibly patient and helpful. The store was packed!

@meitsjustme , I used to wear Mizuno Wave for running. It is a great shoe.

Mizuno is a fantastic brand. You hit the jackpot! Their shoes are high quality, well engineered, are very durable, look great and most of their running shoes can be used for walking. I wore Mizuno shoes for many years but their midsoles got too soft, as is the overall trend in the industry. Even so Mizuno midsoles are some of the most firm today. I hope they go back to the totally firm (but highly shock absorbent) shoes they used to make with the real hard plastic waves in the midsole (not like the cheap soft plastic in some models today). The firm, sturdy shoes were heaven upon each foot strike. You chose well!
