I was 290lbs... so we can say somewhere between 280-290 now (weigh in once a month -- Sept 27th is next date).... what are the best shoes? I need a wide shoe... I hear Asics are really good however I dont have $75+ or more for a pair of shoes altho Id love to buy them. What do you guys reccommend? Im starting to push myself more of doing incline walking fast on 5 or more for an hour and running also & I already have bad joints etc and I dont want to do further damage. Please? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!
 
Asics are great, I just picked up a pair of Gel-Kayano 15's on sale for $80. My suggestion is that if those shoes you bought bother you then try to find a place that fits you for shoes specifically for running. Where I'm from we have a shop called TrySports that will size you, graph your arches, and record you on a treadmill to review your flaws so that they can match you up with the right shoe.

Also running shoes are the best shoes for walking too :)
