Best walking shoe that’s also stylish

[monica9]

Looking to find the most comfortable women’s sneaker that also looks nice. I usually buy sketchers go lite boat shoe for Disney and they work perfect but looking for more of a sneaker this time. Thanks in advance

I saw those. Do you have a pair? Are they comfortable?

I wouldn't stray too far from Sketchers myself. I've had the best results with both their sneakers and sandals. I have to have that bouncy sole.

Did you look into Sketchers sandals with the thick memory foam? I got a pair that are slightly sparkly beige gold (not gaudy) that I always get compliments on and are so unbelievably comfortable.

I have lower back problems, so really anything that properly supports my knees and back is more important to me. I went to a local running shop and told them I needed a shoe that would last 10 hours in Disney World. They gave me a Brooks. Just so happens they look pretty stylish too . I think it was the glycerin 19?

I like Taos. I walked all over Europe in mine.

So I am not a sneaker/closed shoe person at WDW and just wear yoga sanuks but I've had several friends, sister included that love Hoka and/or Brooks. Everyone that has them swears they are amazing. I've tried my sisters shoes on and they're definitely is a lot of support and cushion. I don't know price points but I'd guess more than sketchers, maybe $120s but not sure. I think you can try most of these on before you buy at your local running stores, don't think you'd find hokas at a regular shoe store either.

But to give you an idea, my sister is an athletic trainer and her average days are 18-22K steps and she lives and breathes for her shoes.

My 20 year old son is a cross country runner and he swears by Hoka, too. Many running stores will "analyze your gait" and suggest a shoe that fits your needs (and the analysis is free).

Oofos. Don’t look like sneakers but are slip ons. Lots of support. Can be worn with snd without socks. I have Achilles tendinitis and these shoes and their flip flops were recommended by a physical therapist a couple years ago. I love them. I also wear Feetures socks. Built in support, tailored to right and left feet. Great for my tendinitis etc. Pricey but worth every penny.

Yes, me too. The only shoe that worked when I was pregnant or at Disney walking a lot. I really want to get more of a sneaker I can wear everyday. I ended up ordering new balance fresh foam cruzv1 reissue. Hoping they work out!

Agree with Skechers. I have never done well with athletic shoes, the rub my toe and my heels, so I have always done sandals. In the UK it was not sandal weather, and I went 10 days in my skechers athletic shoes, without one single issue. I was shocked and amazed, and very happy -
