Walking in super shoes?

Hoka Carbon X2 or Carbon X3. Moderate cushion, 5mm drop, and the plate isn’t overdone. I use them to racewalk 4-5 miles each morning when my Runner’s Knee flares up. They work fine as casual walking around shoes as well.

the carbon plate isn't of much importance in this case. it's the bouncy foam that creates the cushioning effect. the carbon plate is useful only when running, to propel you forward. so when looking for shoes don't limit yourself to ones with carbon plates, look for the cushioning foam.

Yes I understand the plate is not helpful for walking, I’m wondering if it’s a hinderance. As noted above, I have tried several non-carbon plates shoes. The question is not whether I should be limiting my search to carbon plated shoes, but whether carbon plated shoes should be included in my search at all if I’m only using them for walking. I’ve already tried most of the max cushion, non-carbon plated shoes, and I’ve found so few satisfactory options that I’m just wondering if any of the carbon plated one are worth considering as well. Thanks.

No you don't want a carbon plate for your issue. Get nike invincible

Isn't Nike Invincible the obvious answer here?

Nike invincible is very soft, but has a fairly large heel drop. I do much better with 5mm or less of drop.

Hi. I also experience a lot of pain walking, and have similar issues finding shoes with max cushion and a low heal drop. I

Did you end up trying the supershoe? Did you like it? What other shoes worked for you? I've tried 12 different so far and the only one I keep coming back to is the Hoka Bondi 7 (Bondi 8 felt less cushioned). I am really hoping to find something else.
