You can make your own if you have a sewing machine and are crafty.

How heavy would one want it?

[Jett Rink]

Whatever you could handle to make it back to where you started. There are no set rules. Trial and error.

Forget about the weight vest, Colleen. They aren't for girls anyway. Maybe some hand held weights to tone the upper body when you walk. Raise them above your head and do curls and stuff. As to running shoes, I buy the cheapo ones at Walmart like Rink suggested. Can't help with the blisters, try soaking your big feet.

Maybe you need thicker socks, maybe try two pair to stop the blistering.

I have them in my walking sneakers, they do help and they are much cheaper then a new pair of sneakers.
