To find the best walking shoes, we spoke with four podiatrists to better understand which key features to look for in a quality pair. Then, we spent more than 48 days testing over 75 pairs of walking shoes in The Verywell Testing Lab and at home, wearing them on pavement, trails, the treadmill, and more. We evaluated each pair for its fit, stability, responsiveness, cushioning, comfort, quality, and value to find the top options on the market. When we test walking shoes, we keep the following key questions in mind.
