Q: What boot style is easiest to walk in?

As they’re designed for comfort, Chelsea boots are the ideal pair of boots to wear for when you have to do a lot of walking. Ankle boots are another good option, though it’s best to go for a pair with flat or subtle heels to ensure your feet stay comfortable even after hours of walking and standing all day.

Good sneakers help align your body on top of reducing strain on your joints. They’re often a good choice for foot health because they are engineered for performance, promising support even when you’re on your feet for hours on end.

Q: What is the difference between dress shoes and casual shoes?

Whereas dress shoes are for more formal occasions, featuring more sleek and elegant structures, casual shoes are designed to look less formal and may vary in shape. Additionally, casual shoes prioritize comfort and versatility. As such, they often feature flat or rubber soles.

Q: What are the must have dress shoes for men?

Black Oxfords are a popular and classic choice for men’s dress shoes, as they are the quintessential dress shoe that carries the sophistication formal attire calls for. A pair of loafers for men are another timeless staple, providing you with versatility for elevated business casual looks.

The Walking Company carries a wide selection of brands that offer supportive sandals for women. Besides having ABEO sandals, we also offer comfortable sandals from Dansko, Naot, Sofft, and even our own brand of The Walking Company footwear.

Q: What is the common feature of men's sandals?

The most common feature of men’s sandals is their open design. A significant amount of the foot is exposed, allowing for breathability when worn. Many sandals for men also have straps and fastenings that secure your feet and provide adjustability for a more customized fit.

Q: What are orthotics?

Orthotics are shoe inserts that are designed to provide support and correct biomechanical issues your feet may be suffering from. Additionally, they also provide relief from foot pain and fatigue. Foot orthotics may be prescribed to treat a range of foot issues, including plantar fasciitis, high arches, flat feet, and arthritis.

Q: Who needs to wear orthotics?

Orthotics can be worn by anyone, like those seeking relief from a more generic problem such as foot pain. This is especially as most orthotics are built to fit a variety of shoes. They can be greatly beneficial to those who need support for specific foot problems, becoming a necessary addition to footwear when prescribed by a podiatrist or attending physician.

Running Shoes

Keep an eye out for key features in your running shoes, such as a cushiony midsole layer for impact absorption, stability technology, traction, and flexibility. The pair of running shoes you pick out are also dependent on the kind of trails you’re running in, so it’s also important to take your terrain into consideration as well.

Slip On Sneakers

Characterized by their easy on-and-off design, slip on sneakers are perfect for those who are always on the go. Despite the lack of laces or other closures, slip on shoes remain secure and comfortable, making them a great choice for those who prioritize convenience with their sneakers.

Workout Shoes

Good workout shoes are breathable and lightweight so as to not get in your way when you’re on the move. Look for sneakers like the ABEO MXV Blaze, which comes with a moisture-wicking Dri-Lex® lining that keeps your feet cool and dry all day long.

Dress Sneakers

Dress sneakers provide the comfort of sneakers with the elegance of dress shoes. Unlike athletic sneakers, dress sneakers are more subtle with their branding. They typically have a low profile and usually come in neutral colors for versatility. Leather sneakers are a popular choice for many, but dress sneakers also come in suede and other materials as well.
