I'm having some knee problems. I know it is because of my shoes. The problems slowly go away whenever I put on better shoes. I bought a pair of Merrell's several years ago and they were ok for me, but I found a cheaper pair at pay less or something similar and thats when the problems began. I've always known that I need better quality shoes, but for a few years I just bought from the cheapo shoe store and it caused me to have knee problems because I wasn't getting proper support from my shoes.
Here is the current version of the Merrell Shoes that I bought. Unfortunately it wore out quickly and I once again got knee problems. I'm wearing some hiking shoes right now, but I am looking for some high quality casual shoes for work. I'm on my tush all day but with summer coming will be walking to Subway for lunch a couple days per week.
Does anybody have any suggestions on a good shoe, or shoe brand that is known for good quality? I've already looked into Birkenstock but want to hear about more brands before I hit the stores this weekend.
