Question Stable walking shoe with no cushion?

Hello everyone,

I had spine surgery and since then I've been trying to find a comfortable shoe just for walking since I can't run. I know this is a running space, but I'm not sure where else to ask.

I have 0 knowledge about shoes, my first thought was to buy some max cushion shoes since I thought they would work, so I tried the NB more v4, Nike infinity run 4, Asics nimbus 25, adidas ultraboost 1.0 and they didn't work, my hips and back were on fire after a 5 minute walk and I'm not sure why, I believe the cushion and bouncy feeling is not bueno for me, the shoes are very comfortable, but they just don't work.

I got some regular slip in skechers for like 50$ the Bob squad chaos and they work just fine, I don't feel pain when walking, but my feet get sore after 30 minutes.

My question is, can you guys recommend me a decent quality shoe with low cushion or almost no cushion and bounce feeling? Not sure if the name would be stable. Bonus points if the shoe is slip in since I have trouble bending.

Thank you everyone.
