Question

Best walking shoes?  And, I have a pretty flat foot.Best walking shoes? And, I have a pretty flat foot.  

Answer 1

Vionic. Best money I ever spent for a pair of their shoes.  

Answer 2

I really like new balance I tried brooks and my knees killed me went back to new balance I walk at least 2 or 3 miles every day

Answer 3

I have found trail running shoes wide fit from new balance wokr well for me

Answer 4

Highly recommend you go to a running store and let them fit you. I’ve loved New Balance, Merrells and SOME Nike’s, but it all depends on the shoe for me. Don’t feel obligated to buy them at the store. You can always shop around online once you know what you want. Buy a pair of socks if you feel you want to compensate them for their time. I generally am so grateful, I will pay the inflated price.  

Answer 5

The best walking show is a good running shoe

Comments

@weiser no, it’s actually not.  

---

@jara10 Justino well that’s what I was told by my foot dr. I’m not hear to argue with anyone

Answer 6

You really need to go to a running store and get fitted. What works for me, might not be the best option for you. They will watch you walk and check your gait, and determine the best shoe. For me, that's either Asics or Brooks, but again, those might not be the best for you. Good fitting shoes make such a difference. Good luck! :)

Answer 7

I have falling arches and found Asics to be best for my feet.  

Answer 8

When things open back up (depending where you are), I’d go to a running store and get properly fitted. Good shoes are make a difference and are worth every penny. I wear the Mizuno Waverunner . graduated from a New Balance shoe.  

Answer 9

Have you looked into orthopedics? The arches in both of my feet have fallen but orthodics have really helped. New balance or Merrells are wonderful but the best shoe I have come across are from SAS shoes. They are designed for all types of foot problems but they aren't cheap! But they are worth every penny!  

Comments

@cacography and they never wear out.  

Answer 10

My New Balance Trail Runners are great for walking, very supportive and comfortable. More supportive than a plain sneaker / cross trainer and I’ve owned Nike, Reebok, Puma, Converse, and Sketchers. More like a comfy low hiking boot without all the weight and bulk, and cuter too. I got a great deal at Big 5 on sale!  

Answer 11

I love Ecco brand. I have flat feet and plantar fasciitis and they are the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever owned. I pronate and have no problems with roll out. I also have arthritis in both knees and need a double knee replacement. They’re the only shoes that I can wear without my knees hurting.  

Answer 12

I tried New Balance and they’re pretty good! I’m going to try Vionic because I have wide, flat feet and they are suggested for my foot type, along with Orthoheal. Brooks are good, but there’s a lot of knock offs that are claimed to be Brooks. It happened to me before. Do NOT get Nike if you have wide or flat feet. They will not accommodate you, and will end up causing foot problems. I have needed two different physical therapy treatments of 20 session each time because of wearing Nikes.  

Answer 13

Saucony for me! Has a great arch support. There are different styles so choose accordingly for your foot!  

Answer 14

Asics! Get fitted after stores open. There are many different types, some will help your flat foot.  

Answer 15

My podiatrist says new balance

Answer 16

New Balance. The higher the model number, the better the sneaker.  

Comments

@granger6 Hubiak flat feet here, too! Always loved New Balance. Retired now & $$ more of an issue. Tried on a pair of Mizuna and LOVE them. Time will tell if they last as long as my New Balance did!  

Answer 17

You should go get fitted for the proper shoe, best way for least injury :) local running store could fit you properly. I got fitted, I have a flat foot. I now buy brooks adrenaline gts or asics, but they need to be stability shoes, not neutral

Answer 18

Sketchers snickers are good for feet

Answer 19

Brooks and Hoka. Don’t go cheap. you get what you pay for and walking is essential.  

Answer 20

New Balance!  

Answer 21

Sketchers are the only thing I will wear. I work in them at a Nursing Home and walk fro exercise in them also.  

Answer 22

New balance but the higher numbered ones. They aren’t cheap but worth it. I have wide flat feet and have tried many but always go back to them.  

Answer 23

Sketchers go walks. I'm on my 5th pair. Light weight, flexible, best walking shoe I've found.  

Answer 24

New Balance!

Answer 35

Hoka is a great brand

Answer 36

My orthopedic doctor has me wearing Birkenstocks. I haven’t had any foot problems since starting wearing them every day.  

Comments

@marmawke which ones did you get? I'm getting a pair soon but not sure which one to get, I have flat feet too.  

---

I buy either Boston or Arizona. Since I live in a very hot climate, I wear Arizona every day, but if I’m walking more, I wear Boston. And they also have lace up styles that give even more support. I just don’t like closed in shoes because my feet get too hot!  

Answer 37

I bought vionics sneakers and they are great. I need the arch for my flat feet and plantar fasciitis. I am starting to notice a huge difference!

Pictures please

Answer 43

I got a pair of Saucony’s and I love them. I also have extremely flat feet and PTTD in one foot/ankle.  

Answer 44

I'm a Birkenstock girl, but they have a good arch. Merrell or dansko are great! I'm very prone to blisters, & I can wear either of them out of the store ( when you could go into a shoe store) and be just fine. Good luck

Answer 45

My husband has flat feet and loves asics

Answer 46

ASICS gel-kayano. I never want to take them off.  

Answer 47

My footer says flexible running shoes with mesh, allow your foot to flex, but great support. Go to Hanson’s in Orion, they watch you walk.  

Answer 48

Thanks for the recommendations. First thing I’m doing, when I can, is buy new sneakers!  

Answer 49

New Balance or Ryka

Comments

@karrykarst0 I second that! I had pain for years and since I’ve used adidas, I rarely have pain, only after being on my feet 10+ hours, no inserts necessary!  

Answer 61

Brooks .  

Answer 62

Rykas you can only buy online I believe but they ate made only for women. I have 3 pair and love them.

Answer 67

Sketchers Go Walks

Answer 68

New Balance

Adidas are what did it for me, I’ve had barely any foot pain since switching, inserts not necessary, the fancy ones the doctor made for me only made my pain worse. Stay away from Nike

Ryka made for a women’s foot

---

I am looking at getting Hokas, which do you guys like?  

---

@derbent Hodgin which style of hokas do u have?  

---

@fibrosis9 Hoka one one

Answer 78

I have very bad planter fasciitis and finally went to a podiatrist who gave me a few recommendations. After trying quite a few I ended up with brooks sneakers from a running store. they are very comfortable and light weight which I love because I’m used to lightweight Skechers (that my dr yelled at me for lol) They have really made a difference

Answer 79

Brooks are the best! My foot Dr agrees. I am flat footed too

Answer 80

I walked Disneyworld in Brooks! 25-35k steps a day. My knee gave out before my feet.  Theyre great!  

Answer 81

New balance

Answer 82

Brooks is #1 My foot doctor even said!  

Answer 83

I got to a store called Fleet Feet. They watch u walk and have u stand in a machine to see how your weight is balanced on ur feet like pressure points. They give a variety of shoes u that will for u and then u decide which ones u like best.  

Answer 84

Brooks running shoe for walking.  

Answer 85

So worth the money !  

Answer 86

Brooks for sure! They are expensive but so worth it!  

Answer 87

Way to go!  

Answer 88

I agree Brooks!  

Answer 89

If your foot is flat, U should definitely get an orthotic even if it is from CVS. Dr Scholls or even Spenco. These tend to make you get a sneaker that is 1/2 size bigger. With this orthotic in your sneaker, then it really depends on the width of your feet. You truly cannot go by a specific brand name. For the most part, they all do the same. You personally need comfort. inside the sneakers is really most important along with the type of your socks. Your socks should be sweat resistant and a $1. 00 sock is not going to work.  

Answer 90

I have flat feet too! I use ASICS for running/walking and Ryka for aerobics. Thinking of trying Brooks for running  

Answer 91

I have very flat feet and have had foot surgery. My orthopedic said New Balance are the best. I like the 860 model. I also like Sorel as a walking shoe. Walked all over Paris for days with no problems at all!  

Answer 92

Love my Brooks adrenaline

Answer 93

Fleet Feet in Short Pump. has great selection. offers good choices!  

Answer 94

I got the Brooks. I chose a man size so I could get blue. I never did get The pink ones because I couldn’t find them big enough at the time for my feet.  

Answer 95

Uggs. love them

Answer 96

Brooks. or Taos sandals

Answer 97

Hoka! They are made with lots of cushion/bounce.  

Answer 98

Love New Balance

Answer 99

I've found Saucony walking shoes the most supportive for my feet.  

Answer 100

My podiatrist recommended Hoka, with New Balance, Brooks and Asics as next choices. Plus an orthotic insole, which meant going up 1\2 size. For sandals, she said Birkenstocks, which I haven't gotten as everything shut down in Texas.  

Answer 101

I have tried Brooks but they didnt work for me. Kuru helped and habe a 45 day trial money back guarantee

Comments

@evincive69 I had the same experience with Brooks. They were not good for me.

Answer 111

Hokas. my husband has very flat feet too and he absolutely loves his Hokas. Try on every style because they are all unique and fit differently. I too love mine!  

Answer 112

Go to an athletic shoe store and get a proper fitting, and make sure to tell them about your flat feet and if your feet tend to roll inwards. I have New Balance shoes now with an orthotic insert, and have had Saucony in the past. Ryka and Skechers brands did not work well for my feet.  

Answer 113

ASICS running tennis shoes recommended by my dr

Answer 114

BROOKS! You can get insoles for your feet as well. If you go to 6pm. com you can find some discounted shoes

I’ve tried so many different brands from Skechers, Nike, ASICS, Rebook, Hoka One one, and Mew Balance and right now I’m loving my New Balance 880’s

Answer 123

I would recommend getting some orthotics to wear inside any good shoe. I also have flat feet, and they made me (feet/legs) feel SO much better.  

Answer 124

Brooks. But also could look for a running store that is close to you. They can analyze your gait and recommend high quality orthotic insoles for proper arch support and to help prevent injuries from occurring.

Flat feet here, Vionics.  

Answer 140

Vionics are the best.  

Answer 141

Same here. Brooks

Answer 142

Hoka One One Bondi 6

Answer 143

I wear Vionic tennies, but I think I’m going to try Hoka next time. When it comes to foot support you really need to bite the bullet and sink some good money into your shoes. I wear nothing but Birkenstock shoes year round. My podiatrist recommended them, Keen, Chaco or any other brand that has good arch support.  

Answer 144

Cloud Steppers

Answer 145

Brooks or Hoka both have excellent shock absorption. They don't make Clark's like they used to. now made in China and quality has suffered greatly.  

Answer 146

Love my Brooks. I wear the men’s as they are typically wider n fit my flat feet better!

Answer 155

Like Brooks

Answer 167

Went walking yesterday in sandals. Did 10, 000 steps and had blisters all over my feet after. Today I'm sore!  

Answer 168

New Balance with orthotics. I am on my feet 9 - 12 hours per day. 110, 000 steps last week.  

Answer 169

Vionic. Good arch support.  

Answer 170

I absolutely LOVE my Merrill's. I even hiked a mountain wearing them. They are a little pricey, but so worth it.  

Answer 171

I walked for a living for 12 years, and I settled on Keen’s. they are extremely well made. And they were the only shoe that did not narrow in & hurt my feet. I found out the hard way that cheap shoes were a nightmare. All good shoes are pricey, so that is a given. But if you order on Zappos. you become a VIP, and anything you order ships free. Enjoy!  

Comments

@keck1 Rose Lancione - I agree with you analysis of the cheap shoes. I have wide feet and I have been using SAS shoes for 10 years

Answer 172

Vionic for me as well. Brooks as well. a but pricy but well worth the $$

Comments

@nummular I’ve heard good stuff about brooks. But one person said they are small. What do You think

---

@burk67 Clifton I ordered a pair of Brooks that I had to send back because they were too small and too wide for me. ASICS and New Balance fit me better because of my narrow feet.  

---

I didn't find them small at all and I have a wide foot. I can wear them ALL day. They were recommended to me by my foot dr.
