This is a decent treadmill for walkiing and with your small stride it could be a good fit and cost effective. Just watch the weight requirement. I doubt this will be a thing for you but worth a mention.

Good luck and seriously this could be a big change for your health.

I added a disclaimer in the OP. Start Slow please.
