Q: What types of boots are in style at The Walking Company?

Ankle Boots: Ankle booties sit at a perfect height around your ankles and are easy shoes that help enhance any outfit. We offer short boots like the ABEO Compass Zip that are not only easy to style, they’re also a breeze to wear as well thanks to convenient double zipper closures. Knee High Boots: For something with a more striking cut that will easily keep you warm during the colder months, a pair of knee-high boots are a stylish must-have in your wardrobe. While our knee-high boots – like the ABEO Avenue Tall – are undeniably fashion-forward, they never compromise on your comfort. Our boots are engineered to be ergonomic and supportive, built with orthotic footbeds that cushion your feet wherever you go. Heeled Boots: In need of some added height with your boots? The Walking Company boots provide the elegant boost you’re looking for while promising serious comfort with every step. You never have to worry about foot pain and fatigue in sleek boots like the ABEO Metropolis Zip, which are both fashionable and functional thanks to a comfortable orthotic footbed. Lace Up Boots: Lace up boots are great for when you want a more rugged look to your outfits. They provide a more customized fit with their laces, ideal for when you want some adjustability with your boots. The ABEO Vista Lace is a warm and cozy option, keeping you supported thanks to its built-in orthotics and securing your feet in place with a lace-up vamp.

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.

Q: Why are sneakers good for your feet?

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.

Q: What are some popular brands for women’s sandals?

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.
