How to choose the right shoe for you
Before you buy, consider how much cushioning you want from your walking shoes. I like to have a high level of cushioning in my shoes, to relieve the pressure on my feet when walking. I also like it when this cushioning is cleverly zoned to provide extra comfort where I need it. I am a supinator, meaning i tend to roll my foot outward, and need a neutral shoe. If you are a pronator, and roll your foot inward, you will need to look for a stability shoe, one with plenty of arch support.
You'll also want to think about getting a secure fit, ensuring that both the sole and the rest of your foot are able to move without sliding around inside the shoe. Several companies offer narrow and wide options so you can pick the model that's right for you. You might also want to consider a shoe that doesn't have intrusive seams to avoid chaffing and blisters.
Breathability and weatherproofing are especially important for walking and the ideal shoe design for you will vary depending on your climate. Consider if you need waterproof shoes, more grip to deal with wet pavements, or light, breathable mesh uppers to keep your feet cool in the heat.
