I have three lens. I like to challenge myself and just take one lens to do walk around photography. That means I need the right shoes to get the best angle/composition. What is your favorite walk around shoe?

I would never recommend any one to buy anything with the Merrill brand.
Some years ago now, there was a campaign over here to gain the right for members of the public to roam freely across mountains, moorland, and other types of open country.
In spite of strong opposition from rich landowners and other vesred interests, this campaign was successful, and parliament eventually passed a law, The Right to Roam Act.
John Merrill was an active campaigner against the law

I love my Saucony powergrid triumph 10 shoes. I can walk, run anything & they feel great. At my age taking care of my feet takes care of the rest of me. I like primes too & I like to zoom with my feet. Bab

Thank you for your comment. I am pleased to hear that John Merrill has nothing to do with the footwear etc.
The other point stands; there must still be evidence in back issues of newspapers which published his letters on the subject. I also have to say that I, too, was very surprised when I read one of them.

What kind of surface are you walking on? How far are you walking? Are you a big guy or a smaller lighter guy? Do you have any issues with your feet, knees, ankles etc.? Just like photography the choice of good shoe depends on a lot of things other than "this is what I like". A 90 lb woman vs a 200 lb man or an individual with a high arch vs an individual with a flat foot will all find comfort in different shoes...just sayin.

The "Dunham Cloud" by New Balance. One of the last shoe brands that are manufactured in the US! But this is not why you should get these! As the name implies, it's like walking on a cloud. Since I don't know what that's like, I just assume having these shoes is what it must feel like. :-)
