5 features of the best walking shoes for women
When it comes to finding the best walking shoes for women, comfort is key! The right pair of shoes can make all the difference, especially on a long hike.
So, what feature should you look for in the best walking shoes for women? Here are some of the most important qualities:
1 | Support
Your walking shoes should offer proper arch support to help distribute pressure evenly across your feet, preventing discomfort.
Tip: Do you have your own custom orthotics? You can easily slip them in our shoes! (Almost) all of our shoes feature a removable footbed. Ideal!
2 | Cushioning
A well-cushioned shoe absorbs shocks, providing comfort for all-day wear. Easy on the feet, easy on the knees, and easy on your back.
3 | Breathability
Especially during summer, materials that keep your feet feeling fresh are not a want but a need. Materials like leather are super breathable and wick away moisture. No wonder Wolky is such a fan of this material!
4 | Flexibility
A flexible sole allows for smoother movement and a more natural walking experience.
5 | Adjustability
Look for shoes that offer adjustable straps or laces, which can help you achieve the perfect fit for comfort and support.
Tip: There’s a good chance your feet tend to swell up during the day. An adjustable walking shoe can easily be retied to fit the ‘new’ shape of your feet. Discomfort? We’ve never heard of it!
