I am 6'3', 225 lbs, and 60 y/o. I am going on a trip
this fall where we will be doing a lot of walking with 3
other couples in France. I imagine it will be on roads,
sidewalks, both indoors and out. I am NOT a walker. I'm
a tennis player. I would appreciate leads for where to
look for good walking shoes for a guy my size that don't
look garish.

Any good reviews?

New Balance. They last and they come in your size and width.
I retire mine to everyday use after about 1000 miles but
they still are in very good shape. A previous brand lasted
less than six weeks before being worn out.

I get last seasons models at Big 5 stores.

I had a pair of New Balance running shoes about 10-12 years
ago. They were feather light, but wore out quickly. I'll go
check out the walking shoes. Thanks
