Whether you’re a casual walker or a serious runner, the type of shoe you wear can affect your posture, feet and post-fitness leg pain — just ask a podiatrist. When it comes to one of the most trusted brands in sneakers, some of the older women in our staff’s lives look to Brooks. As HuffPost editor Emily Ruane noted about one of the brand’s mainstays: “It turns out my mom and my daughters’ nanny — both active older women in their 60s — rely on the exact same pair of Ghost 14 running shoes to stay light on their feet while they garden, run after kids (and grandkids) and do a whole lot of walking.” They love these shoes due to their roomy fit, which is perfect for anyone with bunions, hammer toes or foot issues.
If you’re looking for the right daily sneaker to suit your lifestyle best and maybe even help relieve some preexisting foot aches, consider a pair from Brooks. Right now, the brand is clearing some of its bestselling sneakers for as much as 40% off their typical price at Amazon, Zappos and its official website. That includes some of its most popular models including the Glycerin, Hyperion and the older women-approved Ghost.
