My lower back and knees used to hurt after just a few hours of sneaker wear — that is until I visited my podiatrist, who immediately gave my shoes the side-eye, declaring them the culprit. She explained that my wide and flat feet require very supportive sneakers . Her recommendation? Throw away my old pair and invest in New Balance shoes.

My joints haven’t felt the same since wearing the New Balance Fresh Foam Roav Sneakers — and right now, Amazon’s fashion store has them on sale for $47. Not only do they have a wide toe box with plenty of space for my feet to splay, but the heel has this unique foam material that’s silky soft, flexible enough to slip my foot into without untying my shoes, and doesn’t rub up on my heel causing blisters.
