What to look for in Walking Shoes?

When looking for the best walking shoes you should focus on the below components:

• Fit: The heel counter on your walking shoes should hold your heel comfortably with minimal heel slipping or side to side movement. The toe box should allow for your toes to wiggle and bend freely.
• Cushion: The midsole is one of the most critical components of the best walking shoes. It should be soft enough to absorb each step with flexibility but hard enough to give you the support you need so you won’t pronate/supinate. The insole should be supportive through the arch area, while offering additional cushioning with each step.
• Design: The upper of your walking shoes should be breathable so your feet do not sweat, helping cool off your feet while walking. The lacing should be the length down your foot to allow for tightening and loosening of the upper.

What sneakers are good for walking all day?

• If you're on your feet all day, you should look for a walking shoe with a cushioned sole. This will help absorb the impact of all that walking and keep your joints feeling good.
• Arch support is another important feature to look for. This will help keep your foot stable and help to prevent any potential injuries.
• Breathable upper materials such as mesh are also a must-have to keep your feet feeling their best. A soft and flexible sole will also ensure that you can walk all day in comfort.
• Ryka offers a wide selection of walking shoes made for women so that you can find what works best for you.

How many miles should a walking shoe last?

• Walking shoes should last 400-600 miles. It is best to replace your walking shoes after this number of miles.
