New Balance WR1123

I would like to share with the readers my experience about my New Balance Womens WR1123. Reviews are great since they really help the online shopper make wise decisions on what to buy. So if I shared my experience, it would almost be something like a review as well.

I work as a supermarket merchandiser for personal care products and it requires a lot of walking the whole day. Not only that, I have to push loads of heavy carts whenever I have to replenish the stocks on the shelves. To cut the story short, I developed knee problems that I could feel way down to my ankles and toes. So I have to see a chiropractor every week to relieve some of the strain I feel.

However, my chiropractor said it does not always have to hurt if I wear the right kind of shoes. Wearing flat heeled shoes is not enough, I had to have some ankle support while doing all the pushing effort. My chiropractor recommended either Brooks or New Balance.

Brooks are fine as far as prices are concerned but I cannot seem to find a design that suits my taste. I wanted something that looked conventional but still trendy. I found my choice with New Balance Women's WR1123 because it had the exact features I was looking for. It looked trendy because the color was not the conventional white like nurses wore but it had a nice tint of bluish mint in a clean sort of way. It is a bit more expensive than Brooks though.

True enough, New Balance Womens WR1123 was the answer to my knee problems. It had a built up heel that provided me extra support. In fact the shoes had true fit, as far as my feet length and toe width are concerned.

The New Balance Womens WR1123 are incredibly comfortable even if I do not use it for running because they are very lightweight and soft to wear the whole day probably because of their cushioning technology. It feels like something absorbs the pressing down of my feet every time I heaved to push a cart around the supermarket area.

Now I can manage to maneuver heavy carts without feeling strains on my knees every time I make a right or left turn going through the supermarket aisles. It feels like the movement of my feet inside of the shoes are controlled without my toes putting extra effort to grip the toe end area of my shoes.

So if you are like me who needs something to correct your stride and your ankles and knees get strained in the process, I recommend this pair of New Balance Womens WR1123. They were meant for running I guess but they are best for whole day walking too because they are really extra comfortable.
