Walk a mile in my shoes, as the old saying goes. Well, when you walk a mile (in anyone’s shoes, but especially your own!), first make sure they’re comfortable walking shoes. Many people wonder what the difference is between women’s walking shoes and running shoes. Because walking and running are similar activities, it’s easy to see why a lot of people think the shoes are interchangeable. However, when you’re walking, your weight gets distributed more evenly than when you’re running. So, walking shoes are designed with this in mind. Walking shoes are also very lightweight. They provide just the right amount of support, with more flexibility.

There are a few key features to look for when shopping for comfortable walking shoes for women. One thing to consider is the balance of cushioning versus support. Depending on the structure of your foot, you may prefer more of one to the other. Lots of cushioning in your walking shoes may feel comfortable, while others that need more arch support or general stability may feel best in a more structured style. In general, you’ll want a stiffer midsole but flexibility in the toe box. Plus, a mesh upper will allow your feet to breathe the more you move.

Walking is a great way to exercise, especially if running is too tough on your joints or just simply not your thing. It actually burns way more calories than you think – it’s about 100 calories per mile!

The style of shoe you need depends on your routine. And if you’re into walking, running and cross-training, it’s smart to have a different pair for each activity. This will keep you from wearing down one pair with every type of workout. Even if you’re not into walking for a workout, women's walking shoes make a great everyday shoe or a comfy option for travel.
