Best Walking Shoes for Trail Walking
by Carrie
I need help trying to determine what product to buy. I want a woman's outdoor sneaker for light hikes and easy trails. Walking only, no running. I have very high arches and underpronate. So, I know I require cushioning and flexibility...not support! Could you please recommend which shoes might be the best match for me? Thank you! That's right, Carrie! A neutral shoe is a great choice for your high arches. I love the Merrell brand for trail walking shoes. Here are a few neutral walking shoes for your high arches. Keep in mind, though, that these shoes do not offer pronation control. If you are a mild pronator, you probably won't need prontation control and a neutral shoe will be a perfect fit. However, if you do require pronation control, I'd recommend a stability shoe. So how do you know if you'll need a neutral or stability shoe? Your feet will tell you! I'd start with the neutral shoe if you have mild pronation. Give them a week and if you feel any pain, especially in your arches, you'll know you need some pronation control with a stability shoe. I'll provide some recommendations for those shoes as well below. Recommendations for Neutral Trail Walking Shoes 1. Merrell CT Converge 2  2. Merrell CP Paragon  3. Not specifically a trail shoe, but a great walking shoe for high arches - Asics Gel 4 to 8  Recommendations for Stability Trail Walking Shoes 4. Merrell Siren Sport GORE-TEX XCR  5. Merrell ST Stature 2  6. Merrell Kinetic  Best of luck to you and happy walking!
