Walking is one of the simplest ways to keep up with your fitness. And getting your daily steps in is easier (and a lot more comfortable) when you have the right pair of walking shoes to support every step. 

 

You might be wondering: Are running shoes just as good for walking as running? In general, yes! DICK’S footwear expert, Audrey H. explains why she will choose a running shoe for walking: “When I'm testing out walking shoes, I look for shoes with support. I really love it when they have a good amount of cushioning.” 

 

Ultimately, the shoe for you comes down to the fit and how they feel on your feet.
