They have arch support, resilient, bouncy soles, and just enough breathability. I have Clark's sneakers that look great but make my feet hot quickly. The born sneakers are now on sale at Nordstrom.</p> <p>I will take the Borns and the black Eccos with me next month when the Boy and I roam bits of the Baltic. The boots would better on cobblestones but I think they will be too warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes/page/2#post-2020205 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 21:23:18 +0000 Cee 2020205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and these ones confuse the hell outta the buggers ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes/page/2#post-2020204 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 21:20:39 +0000 Cee 2020204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here ya go ...Comfy as all get out and snake bite proof </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes/page/2#post-2020153 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 17:38:06 +0000 Anonymous 2020153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have pretty much given up wearing regular shoes and usually go barefoot or wear sneakers. My sneakers of choice are Nike because they fit my foot the best. I wear cross trainers when I work out and runners for outside walking and running errands. When I need a casual walking shoe I love "Grasshoppers". When I need something a bit more dressy or somewhat casual I love Bare Traps because they fit my foot like a glove and are comfortable for walking and standing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes/page/2#post-2020147 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 17:30:25 +0000 Angie 2020147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>MrsK</b>, my pleasure.

They are fairly unattractive, but comfy, with good traction, and waterproof. I have three pairs in rotation now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019962 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 01:25:55 +0000 shiny 2019962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could walk forever in the Naturalizer Blair booties. So glad I duplicated them. Strangely enough, the white leather is more comfortable than the black leather, as I have both.&nbsp;</p> <p>Otherwise, hands down, the best walking shoes I have are the Allbird's. No socks needed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019953 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 01:05:32 +0000 SW prof 2019953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure that I've ever owned a pair of shoes that doesn't start hurting after about 2-3 miles, and I've tried everything under the sun, including orthotics. When doing extensive walking, I'm usually wearing running shoes chosen with guidance from the staff at a serious running shoe store, but even those hurt eventually.&nbsp; So I'm wildly envious of those of you who can wear nice-looking shoes for miles. Somewhat surprisingly, these two pairs of ankle boots may be my best bets at present. The Rieker ones (home photo in Finds) initially made me miserable, but I persevered and after about three years they wore in well. The Eccos were comfortable from the start, so long as I wear orthotics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019947 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:54:03 +0000 Jaime 2019947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I am jealous of everyone's beautiful shoe pictures. Since my shoes are mostly either second hand or local (or probably both) I will have to wait to take pictures, but my most walkable and walked in shoes are all flat and none at the moment are sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019946 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:43:35 +0000 sarah 2019946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't keep track of steps, and I bike more than walk, but these shoes have all gone the distance. Some of them are quite old now, but I can't seem to pass them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019944 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:20:58 +0000 Anonymous 2019944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Sam Edelman Petty, Borne or Aquatellia booties in winter, Franco Sarto or Naturalizer loafers or EF zip back pointy toe Allot flats or ECCO silver sneakers in summer are my most comfortable walking shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019931 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 22:01:55 +0000 Style Fan 2019931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I walk a lot.&nbsp; I don't really keep track of my steps.&nbsp; I have a hiking trail in front of my house that is quite steep and challenging.&nbsp; I also try to walk around town as much as possible. &nbsp;<br />Name a foot problem and I probably have it.&nbsp; I don't wear orthotics.&nbsp; They made my feet scream in pain.&nbsp; For serious walking, I wear New Balance and Finn Comfort.&nbsp; My El Naturalista Chelsea Boots are pretty amazing too.&nbsp; All of these have cushioning, great support and a built-in orthotic that molds to your foot.&nbsp; Well, I put a Birks insert in the New Balance ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019920 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 21:07:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2019920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Here goes. <br /></div><div>1. My two pairs of Think! Aida shoes--the d'Orsay style, in gray below, and the sling-back style, in black--have been wonderful. The gray ones especially, because they are newer. They took me all over Paris the summer of a heat wave there. <br /></div><div>2. The Mephisto Yael sneaker, shown below in black and white with snake print. These were the other pair of shoes I wore all over Paris in the heat wave. They are frequent travelers with me. <br /></div><div>3. Naot Kedma oxfords. I no longer wear these, because I've moved on to other styles. But they were super comfortable for lots of city walking. I still look for other Naots with the same footbed. (You can research the types <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.naot.com/Department/1000#page=1">here, on the Naot website</a>; all the shoes in the same collection should fit the same.) <br /></div><div>4. Mephisto Sabatinas are my latest comfy oxfords. I will say they aren't s perfect a fit on my feet as the Naots were, but these are still very comfy and excellent for walking.</div><div>5. Mephisto Korie flat is one of my newest sneakers. I think they might be made on the same last as the Yael. They were very comfy right out of the box. <br /></div><div>6. Blondo Vinita moto boot. They have zero arch support, so I like to wear them with SuperFeet 3/4 inserts. They will go the distance, AND they are waterproof. They have traveled New York City with me more than once. I bought the . . .<br /></div><div>7. Born ROA bootie as an update to the Blondo moto bootie, but the Borns aren't waterproof, so I still wear the Blondos when I need protection from water. <br /></div><div>8. Blondo Volley tall boot. More comfortable footbed than the Vinita, so I don't have to use the SuperFeet, although sometimes I do use them. These boots are comfy and warm enough for wet weather. <br /></div><div>9. Munro Bradley is a great, casual walking bootie. I bought these to replace my Born Troye, which were great long-distance city walkers, but which had just gotten too beat-up looking for my style. <br /></div><div>10. Jo Ghost lace-up booties are great for walking, because they conformed to my feet and feel like they were made for me. They don't have a lot of inner support, but somehow they just work. <br /></div><div>11. Cole Haan Grand Pro tennis shoe is a recent addition to my sneaker capsule. Love them. They are so light! They don't have a ton of support, but they have it just where I need it, and I love that the insole is fabric-covered, so you can wear them without socks, and your feet don't stick to the insoles.</div><div>12. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Platform sneakers in gold joined my sneaker capsule the same day as the Cole Haans. I thought these would be mainly for looks--not an all-day walker. But wow, they are giving the "comfort" shoes a run for their money. Surprisingly good for walking. I haven't tested them for very long distance, and frankly, on a trip, I'd probably grab the Cole Haans first.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sorry to say I don't have a sandal recommendation for walking lots of distance! My Think! options have to fill that role for now.<br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019916 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 20:38:42 +0000 April 2019916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving this thread.</p> <p>Angie -- where are you moving to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-walking-shoes#post-2019913 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 20:25:07 +0000 Carla 2019913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total non sports footwear = 11 pair. 3 pair are Converse low top canvas sneakers. They are the shoes that I've reached for the most this past year and what I wear when I go for walks. More important than the shoe though, is the insert. I use a 'hard' insert by Superfeet, a gel insert from Dr. Scholl, and a hybrid gel insert with a rigid arch support. </p> <p>I don't track steps, but I've used my Garmin to track walks DH and I take 2-3 times a week. We stop at the library, and for coffee and a treat afterwards, but still manage 7-10km. I've worn my Nine West loafers (kitted out with gel inserts) for a 12 hour shopping day in the big city - tired feet and legs, but no injuries!</p> <p>Shoes with a rubber sole or heel seem to be better at traction and shock absorption than leather or other hard materials. The loafers have a veneer of rubber that makes all the difference. </p>
