Best Walking Shoe with Heel?

I have an old ankle injury (left foot) and wear orthotics. I do better with a bit of a heel and a stiff sole. Any suggestions?

Walking shoes provide a lot of flexibility (to allow the natural roll-through that the foot goes through while pushing off on each step) so it would be difficult to find a pair made with a stiff sole.

I'd recommend looking into a running shoe because they have more of a heel than walking shoes. Look for a stability model which may give you the stiffness you are looking for. Some of the best brands are Asics, New Balance and Saucony. Each provides several stability models that may be just perfect for you.

Best of luck to you and happy walking!
