Q: What makes a shoe a walking shoe?

Walking shoes are characterized by key features that aim to support your steps. These features include flexibility, cushioning, breathability, and shock absorption. Additionally, walking shoes are made to support the natural motion of walking, helping you maintain balance and stability with your strides.

Q: What shoes do podiatrists recommend for walking?

Podiatrists recommend walking shoes that offer arch support, cushioning, and a spacious toe box. Ideally, the most comfortable shoes you’ll find are ones that are personally fitted to your feet, so it’s strongly encouraged to consult with your podiatrist to better understand your foot type.

Q: Are sneakers suitable for walking?

In general, most sneakers are good for walking, especially orthopedic sneakers, as these are specifically engineered to support your feet. It’s important to note that not all sneakers may be suitable for walking, particularly fashion sneakers that prioritize aesthetic design over functionality.

Q: Are running shoes good for walking?

Yes. Running shoes are built to support your feet, offering cushioning, shock absorption, and flexibility. Be sure to pick a pair that suits your needs, as some high-performance running shoes may have excessive cushioning that can create instability while walking.

Q: What are the best walking shoe brands?

The Walking Company carries some of the leading brands that offer the best walking shoes for women and men. Some of our brands include ABEO, Dansko, Propet, and Drew Shoes.
