Make sure, if you are looking to begin a walking regimin, and are a heavier walker that you invest in a really good pair of shoes. Either get walking or running shoes, they are made for the forward movement. Cross trainers aren't specifically designed for the same thing. They are fine for short walks; but not for us daily walkers. I currently have a pair of Asics, that so far I love. I have figured out, that shoes are certainly not going to last me as long at 315 pounds as they did when I was 170-180. Of Course that means, that I'll be spending twice as much on shoes, probably replacing them every three months or so, until I drop about half of my body fat.
Shoes are typically only good for about 300 to 600 miles, depending on the shoe and you.
