there are a lot of good brands and each one makes good models. fit is the most important by far and brand doesnt matter if it doesn't fit. so don't throw out any brands before trying them out. I had my heart set on Salomon's but couldn't even get my foot to touch the sole under the heel because my foot is so wide (ended up being too wide for keens, which fit bigger than most) fit like a dream in merrell's wide fit shoe's wide size.

biggest key I've learned is to not be able to flex the sole downwards. upwards is great (otherwise you wouldn't be able to walk at all. downwards flexing means your foot takes a beating that it shouldn't.
