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 took these out of the box and went on a 3.5 mile hike with 450' elevation drop and then back up again. That included a cobblestone beach. These shoes were very comfortable and provided ample support. I am impressed.They do run a bit small. I normally wear an 8.5 US, so I ordered a 9 US and they fit perfectly.
1/2 size up was perfect.really nice shoes. Super comfortable!
Well made shoe. It shows a US7 adn EU39 for sizing. I'd say the EU39 is correct as I am a true EU39.5. The show has a very snug fit and is narrow. Good cushing from the sole and like most Salewa is grippy.
I’m not sure if Salewa has a mold for my foot because every pair, probably 8-10 so far, fit and function great on and off road, awesome! These have a running sole with stability and comfort. Im a 10.5w and always buy11. Quality once again 👍😎
These are so narrow. Got on sale for $60 and still couldn’t use. You would need to size up 2 but I’m already a 13.
Fantastic support and cushioning. The laving system allows the shoe to litterally form to your foot creating unbeatable stability. Fashion forward styling. These shoes are ultra on trend.
Salewa shoes aren’t well known in the US, I only discovered them recently. I’m very picky about shoes and socks, proper fit is critical. I’ve always worn 10.5 shoes in standard width. I wear trail/approach shoes for work, hiking and leisure, this style of shoe supports my ankles properly. I’ve worn various Vasque shoes for 20+ years, mostly the Juxt model. After I discovered Salewa I decided to check them out. They have many similar shoes across the product line and I wanted to compare them. There’s only one retailer on my area with limited stock and there’s not much info online comparing the different models. So I ordered a few different models from Amazon.When I tried on the Droplline Leather in 10.5 I they way too narrow, couldn’t even get them on. I returned and got the 11.5. I could squeeze my feet into these, but still way too narrow and were returned. I was impressed with the construction, these appear to be very high quality and have a novel lacing system. The midsole is has a lot of cush, more than an average trail shoe. The POMOCA outsole is sticky, and should work well on a trail and rocks.I only wore these a few minutes because of the width, I can’t speak to durability.
Retired my first pair after a little over 1,500 miles on them. Fantastic shoe…thanks Salewa.
