I’ve tested more than 50 walking shoes and this is my favorite from Skechers for comfort—now more than half price

Skechers make some of the comfiest walking shoes money can buy, and they're affordable to boot (pardon the pun).

Of the 50-plus shoes I've tried, I've tested six by Skechers, clocking up 240,000 steps and 45 hours with the brand.

My pick off the bunch is the Aero Spark so I'm always pleased when I see it on offer, and you can currently get up to 51% off the women's shoe and 34% off the men's.

The Aero Spark is technically a road running shoe, but it's great for walking too.

It's bouncy and well-cushioned underfoot, which takes some of the effort out of running and walking. The shoe does some of the work for you.

On top of this, the toe box leaves plenty of room for your toes to splay naturally and even space for wider feet and minor bunions.

I often find even the most well-cushioned shoes can be too narrow around the toes, so a roomy toe box is a big must for me.
