The Best Walking Shoes On Sale Now, Tested by Editors and Runners

These running shoes from Brooks sport super-soft foam cushioning, along with a neutral fit, perfect for walking as well. The sole is wider than most other shoes, which allows your foot to access more stability. These are great for standing and walking for prolonged periods, especially if you have a neutral foot without the need for a lot of corrective padding. We ran and walked in these for months without seeing any kind of degradation.

For fans of Brooks who want a lighter and softer shoe for their walks, the Adrenaline GTS 23 is a very solid pick. The stability is also better on this design, with a midsole with firm sides that support the arch of the foot. There is slightly less responsiveness than other running shoes out there, which is totally fine as long as you aren’t looking to run massive distances with them. These are a great everyday wear, that is also perfect for regular jogs.

If you are looking for a more stylish and understated shoe, or a walking shoe that doesn’t look like a running shoe, this pick from Allbirds is what you need. I’m a big fan of the cool comfort these shoes bring, and wear them regularly to work. They are the perfect wear for a commuter on the go, and hold well up on city streets.

Asics has continually improved the Gel-Nimbus series, and the twenty-sixth version is a perfect walking shoe. The new lightweight foam cushioning tech gives their midsoles a soft touch when it comes to strolls or long walks. They are more responsive than other options on this list, and I’ve taken them on quite a few long runs as well. The gel in the heels provide extra support, and make for a nice respite for heel strilers.

The latest generation of the Runfalcon from Adidas is a great everyday wear for wider feet, and come with a well-cushioned midsole. For anyone looking for the perfect summer walking shoe, this might be your pair. The mesh upper allows for cooling breeze to come through, keeping your feet comfortable.

These are the pick for anyone looking for a walking pair that can get a little wet, for those walks or strolls through the woods. The durability is great on these, and I’ve experienced the exceptional walking experience that they bring. The rocker bottom helps guide your feet in a healther walking pattern, and they don’t look half bad on the foot either.
