Comfortable walking shoes are essential for fitness walking. They'll help prevent painful blisters and skin injuries. They can also help prevent pain in your feet and knees.

There isn't one shoe that is the most comfortable shoe for everyone. Comfort is determined by finding a shoe that best fits the needs of your fitness style and your feet.

There are shoes designed for every level of walker and for every type of foot. Here are five tips to help you find the best walking shoes for your feet.

1. Visit an athletic shoe store. Many of these stores offer a treadmill walking assessment. A knowledgeable staff member will videotape your feet while you walk on a treadmill. This will help them gather information about how your feet move, including pronation (how much your feet roll inward when striking the ground). The staff will also determine what arch-type your feet have, which is essential for finding the right shoe. This information will help the staff offer you a selection of shoes designed to offer the proper amount of support, flexibility and cushioning.

2. Have your feet measured. You've probably known your shoe size for years and years. Yet one of the main causes of foot pain is wearing a shoe that is too small. Your shoe size can change as you age. Have your feet measured by a professional to determine your current size.

3. Try shoes on later in the day. Your feet can swell as you stand on them throughout the day. A shoe that fits fine in the morning can become tight by the afternoon.

4. Test out the fit. Try on both of the shoes instead of just one. Walk around the store. Make sure there is enough room to wiggle and spread out your toes. Walkers need a nice roomy toe box to spread the toes during the push off of each step. Ensure that your heel fits well into the heel of the shoe and doesn't slip out while you walk. Check for any rubbing or squeezing. Do not buy the shoes if they are uncomfortable in any way in the store. Comfortable walking shoes do not need to be broken in.

5. Find a good exchange/return policy. Buy your shoes from a store that offers a return or exchange policy. A pair that feels great in the store may give you trouble when you walk under your normal conditions. I recently bought a great pair that was extremely comfortable while walking around the store. Yet my arches began to ache after a day of two of walking in them around my neighborhood. I was able to exchange them for a new pair with more arch support and I am now walking pain free.

These tips will help you find the most comfortable walking shoes for your feet and your fitness walking needs. You'll avoid blisters and bunions as well as pain to your feet and legs.

You can find a great selection of walking shoes for $100 or less. For such a small investment, you'll keep your feet happy and healthy. They will thank you for it!

If you are in the process of selecting a treadmill, then you have two options. You could spend a lot of time as well as energy in searching and researching about the various types of treadmills available, their features, pricing, etc.

Alternatively you could just browse through treadmill reviews to understand much faster all the needed details about treadmills. Of course, there are hundreds of treadmill reviews out there on the Internet, but some are better than others.

Only a few really deliver, despite claims of providing the best treadmill reviews. But how do you separate the wheat from the chaff?

What are the points that you expect to be covered in an educating treadmill review?

Let us list a few of them here for your better information:

* The treadmill reviews should cover the maximum number of manufacturers and suppliers.

* The treadmill reviews should cover all the features of the treadmills.

* The reviews should list out the positive as well as negative points of the treadmills.

* The reviews should clearly talk about the product ranges, the pricing, the warranty offered, highlighted features of the treadmills.

* The reviews should provide the background and technical expertise of the manufacturer or reviewer in this field.

* The reviews should mention the extent of popularity enjoyed by the manufacturer or supplier.

* The treadmill reviews should invariably include maximum number of actual client feedback, wherever possible.

* The reviews could list the experiences of the actual users as pointers to the performance of the treadmills.

* The reviews should clearly outline recent innovations and advancements that are expected in the near future.

* The reviews should guide you about the various options in payment terms, delivery terms, after-sales-service, etc. of each manufacturer.

* The treadmills reviews should be unbiased; there should be absolutely no direct or indirect sales pitch in the reviews.

This might look like a lengthy wish list. However, you have to remember that you are not going to buy treadmills every once in a while. In most of the cases, it is a lifetime buy.

Further, with the vast range of treadmills available, the treadmill reviews should help you in deciding what is right for your needs. The treadmill reviews should advise you on the models that you could afford.

This is a very important point because treadmill prices range from $500 to $5,000. One wrong decision and you could end up making a very expensive mistake.

Whether it is Sole treadmill reviews or any other treadmill reviews, the reviews should be clear on the entire topic. The reasons are obvious.

When you buy a treadmill, your main intention is to save the several thousand dollars that you would be spending by signing up with the health club near your area. By having the treadmill in your home, you not only save the time spent for traveling to and from the health club but you also exercise whenever you are free.

This is in contrast to the fixed allotted timings that you get in all health clubs. The advantages of training regularly with a treadmill need not be highlighted here. Toning up your body, losing weight, and simultaneous exercise are obvious to all. Therefore, the treadmill reviews should assist you in making the right informed decision. The treadmill reviews or other reviews should not be vague or biased.

It would also be useful if you get to know and understand some of the treadmill jargon that is regularly used in treadmill reviews:

Belt, box channel frame, C channel frame, console, deck, drive train, footprint, horsepower, incline, peak rating, presets, rollers, torque, motors, etc. are some the terms that you would frequently come across in treadmill reviews.

These might look like minor details but each one is important in its own way. All of them in combination decide the quality and durability of the treadmills. Look for authoritative treadmill reviews from the experts before you decide.
