Walking is a low-impact workout that boosts your heart rate, supports mental health, and is far easier on your joints than running. The catch? All those miles still add up, which means your shoes really matter.
Over the years, our team of editors have tested hundreds of shoes, so we can recommend only the best styles for walking, running, cross-training, and more. Supportive, cushioned walking shoes aren’t cheap, and many of our editors’ favorites are upwards of $100—but you don’t have to pay full price.
I’m a shopping editor who tracks deals for a living, and right now I found six editor-tested walking shoes on sale. You can save up to 54 percent on top-performing brands like Hoka, New Balance, Asics, and more. With proven cushioning, stability, and comfort, shop the shoe deals that Women’s Health editors genuinely wear and recommend below.
Best Deal
The Hoka Mach 6 is WH editors’ favorite recovery shoe after long runs because of its flexible, lightweight build and plush cushioning that doesn’t aggravate knee pain. In testing, the pillowy insoles cradled our heels perfectly, while the heel-to-toe drop is a neutral 5 mm—not too high or low.
Beyond its mega-soft cushioning, the New Balance Fresh Foam x 1080v14 offers inclusive sizing: narrow, standard, wide, and extra wide fits. One editor says it fits her narrow feet perfectly while providing great support. “These are absolutely perfect if you deal with any foot pain issues or struggle with sneakers being a bit too wide—I have walked over 100 miles in these at this point and have never even had a sore or tender spot from rubbing or chafing,” she says.
Asics kicks are considered a classic, all-around great brand for walking, especially if you struggle with overpronation (ankles that roll inward) or have flat feet. Thick foam borders each side of the shoe to encourage proper alignment and walking gait. Deep heel cups also help keep arches supported.
Lined with mesh to make this an ultra-breathable sneaker, the Pegasus is a winner because it has a slim, low heel that is great for maintaining a smooth walking cadence. “I find the sole a bit on the firmer side, and the mesh upper really hugs and forms to your individual foot shape,” Executive Health & Fitness Director Jacqueline Andriakos says.
Many supportive shoes tend to have soft and chunky silhouettes that feature a platform height. However, we love that these lululemon walking shoes have a sleek low profile that provides additional stability to flat feet. With streamlined soles that are closer to the ground, people with flat feet are able to find balance much quicker than walking in a plush sneaker. Note: walking in low profile shoes is better suited for indoor walks on a treadmill.
One of the best walking shoes we’ve tested for plantar fasciitis, the Bondi 9 has maximum cushioning and a firm yet responsive midsole. It also has high arch support which feels impeccable when recovering post-run.
