Yes, I have the Ikebukuro, Recife, and Pretoria and love all of them.

I wear the Recifes as my distance walkers.

Unfortunately, Finnamic doesn’t include a shoe that is really sturdy for exercise walking in colder weather with a sole that offers a better grip for walking in light snow.

Since Finn doesnt have anything, I was wondering if any other companies might have a similar rocker structure but offer a more rugged style. Even something like a “hiking sneaker” would work. (I’ve heard that the Mephisto Sano might work, but I don’t know anything about them)

Thank you for any suggestions you might provide.

The toe box is not over sized and the UK full and 1/2 sizes allow a precise fit. (This is the first model we would recommend based on your comments.)

By wearing the Finnamics, I’ve been able to take up distance walking as my exercise. The arch combined with the gentle rocker make all the difference. I can actually walk, and for the first time in years, my plantar fasciitis is under control. I wouldn’t be able to walk 20 miles a week were it not for these shoes.

My problem is that I’d like to walk in the winter too and need something a little more rugged. Do you know of a similar sole/fit that you recommend? I don’t wear an orthotic (and hope to avoid them) and I don’t want an enlarged toe box or loose heel.

Thank you for any help you can give as I’m desperate to find something that works so I can keep up with my exercise.
