Walk This Way: Top Picks for Comfort and Support in Walking Shoes
Walking is a fantastic way to stay active, improve your health, and explore the world around you. But a comfortable and supportive pair of walking shoes is essential to make your walks enjoyable and prevent injuries. With so many options on the market, choosing the right walking shoes can feel overwhelming. Fear not, fellow walkers! This guide will unveil some of the top picks for walking shoes, ensuring you find the perfect pair for hitting the pavement in comfort and style.
Understanding Your Needs: The Perfect Walking Shoe for Every Walker
Before diving into specific recommendations, let's consider some key factors to think about when choosing walking shoes:
- Terrain: Will you be walking primarily on sidewalks, trails, or a mix of both? Different terrains require different shoe features.
- Walking Distance: Are you a casual walker who enjoys strolls around the neighborhood, or do you train for long-distance walks/hikes?
- Support Needs: Do you have any specific foot conditions or require extra arch support for maximum comfort?
Top Picks for Walking Shoe Comfort and Support: Walk in Confidence
Now, let's get to the good stuff! Here are some of the best walking shoes that prioritize comfort and support for various walking styles:
- Cushioned Comfort: Brands like Brooks and Hoka One One offer shoes with exceptional cushioning, perfect for long walks or those who need extra shock absorption.
- Lightweight Performance: For brisk walks or those who prioritize speed, consider lightweight walking shoes from brands like Adidas or New Balance. These shoes offer good support without feeling bulky.
- Trail-Ready: If your walks take you off the beaten path, opt for trail-specific walking shoes from brands like Salomon or Merrell. These shoes provide added stability and traction on uneven terrain.
- Supportive Stability: For walkers with specific foot needs or those who require extra arch support, brands like Saucony and Asics offer shoes with advanced support features.
Walk in Comfort and Style: Additional Tips for Choosing Walking Shoes
Beyond the brand and specific features, here are some additional tips for selecting the perfect walking shoes:
- Get sized properly: A snug but comfortable fit is essential. It's best to get sized at a reputable shoe store in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen.
- Consider your socks: The socks you wear can impact the fit and feel of your shoes. Choose socks specifically designed for walking or athletic activities.
- Take them for a test walk: Don't just try the shoes on in the store; walk around in them to ensure they feel comfortable and supportive.

I get back aches fairly quickly when on my feet for more than a few minutes at a time. Rockports are they only brand of shoe I have found that extends the amount of time I can be on my feet without pain. Other brands of shoes, claiming to help back pain, always have the worst arch support that is worse than no support at all.They also last longer than any other brand of shoe I have ever had. In fact, I haven't worn out the outside of a pair yet, and I normally keep them more than a year. The padding on the inside does wear down after a year or so and back pains come faster.This pair being water resistant has been great for times I've been working onsite at outdoor events that always get rained on. It's much more comfortable having dry feet when battling thunder storms.
Shoe feels good. But the metal eyelets eat shoe strings.
Durability is crucial for shoes, so I'll update this if they fall apart, but they are comfortable and the earth tones are nice. The first day, they were stiff, and I was worried. Now, they're my go-to.
i have bought these before, and this pair is not as comfortable as the previous pair. do fit fine, but they still make my feet hurt after 8 hours on my feet.
I have always been impressed with Rockport shoes and these did not disappoint me in any way. They arrived quickly and fit perfectly. Once you put them on, you will be reluctant to take them off because they are so light and comfortable. I usually plan to walk around inside the house for a few hours to see how the shoes fit while I am moving. With these, I walked around the first floor, went up and down the stairs - then just went outside and walked a mile! I liked these so much, I also ordered the "breen"- colored pair the next day. They are an olive / brown combination that looks much better on your feet than they did online.
The gizmos that guide the shoelaces are just a bad design. I like the similar looking things that are frequently seen on construction boots. Those allow for easy tieing of the laces. The "look" of those things in the pictures of this shoe looked as if they would be similar. However, although the top of those guides is rounded, the edges the holes are square-ish. The edges impede movement of the laces through the holes. The upshot of the design is that you just can't the laces tight enough to get a secure fit of the shoes. And since I can't cinch the laces tight enough there's not tension of the knot with the result that after walking a while the knot comes untied. Annoying. I always liked Rockport. This is just not a good design.
This shoe runs small. I wear a size 9 but it was extremely tight. Then I tried 9.5 w and was too large. 3rd time was the charm with the 9 w being a perfect fit. The lacing is difficult to tighten with this type of eyelet but can be achieved with the laces around your fingers and an inward twist. Very comfortable shoe for work and great for walking. I give this a thumbs up, but a modification in the eyelets should be made to make it easier to tighten and snug up the laces. Won’t tighten if u just pull them as u normally would.Thank you
I'm a little under two months in, and I've gone through two sets of shoe laces. The eyelets are sharp, and unyielding. If you lace loose, you should be fine, but if you like a tight fit plan on cinching from the bottom up each time.
