Q: What is the difference between cross-training shoes and walking shoes?

Cross-training shoes are designed with multi-directional movement in mind, whilst walking and running shoes are made for heel-to-toe movement. Cross-trainers often have more cushioning in the forefoot than walking shoes so they can support landing on your toes, like in jumping jacks. And they may have outsoles that are wider than typical walking shoes to support side-to-side movements.

Q: What is the most comfortable footwear for walking?

Walking is most comfortable in lightweight shoes with cushioning, arch support, a flexible outsole and low heels. Walking shoes for women that leave room for your toes to move make your daily rounds go smoothly — check for a finger's width between the end of your longest toe and the front of the shoe. A sturdy heel will help keep your foot from slipping inside the shoe.

Q: How do I choose a good walking shoe?

To pick the right walking shoe, think about where you'll wear the shoes most — getting in your daily steps on pavement? Roaming forest paths? Moving through a workday? Choose walking shoes for women that are stable and supportive, with a low heel and room for your toes.
