Our every effort to provide the world's most supportive footwear is guided by the simple idea that walking makes life better – for everyone, everywhere, every day. We focus on delivering true comfort and support, achieved through meticulous attention to fit and materials, accessible to everyone, for every occasion.

Our story began in 1991, when a group of California-based entrepreneurs saw a growing demand for comfortable, high-quality shoes. Driven by a mission to become the pioneers of comfortable and supportive footwear, they established The Walking Company, becoming a renowned retailer specializing in comfortable shoes and functional orthotics.

Our early years focused on curating a selection of premium comfort brands known for their supportive features and impeccable craftsmanship. The Walking Company quickly gained traction, expanding its presence across the United States through strategic partnerships and a commitment to customer satisfaction.

By the early 2000s, the wellness and comfort footwear trend surged in popularity, prompting us to expand and offer an extensive range of shoes designed to alleviate foot pain and promote overall well-being. It was this strategic positioning that propelled The Walking Company into becoming the leading destination for consumers seeking stylish yet comfortable footwear. The Walking Company brand traces its roots to 1991. WalkingCo, LLC acquired the brand and trademarks in 2021 and continues to operate the business today.

Today, we continue our efforts to source the world's most supportive footwear, bringing you the best brands with the most comfortable shoes from all over the world. Inspired by Authentic Comfort® – an integral element of our identity – The Walking Company places your comfort as our highest priority, assuring you that every shoe is designed with the highest craftsmanship to provide only the best for your feet.
