Overall, New Balance shoes are the winners because they are easy to find and are very affordable. Other top brands include Brooks and Rockport.

There are certain features of a walking shoe that set it apart from other athletic shoes and these features will give your feet the support and flexibility they need while walking.

Heel cushion. As a walker, you strike the heel of your foot the hardest so it’s important to have good cushioning.

Flexibility. You need flexibility so look for a shoe that bends easily at the ball of your foot.

Toe Box. You’ll need a nice, roomy toe box to allow your toes to spread out as they push off for the next step.

Upper materials. You’ll need air to get to your feet to keep them dry so look for a material that is breathable.

I recommend trying on a few pairs to find the one most comfortable for you. Here is a list of tips on how to shop for the most comfortable walking shoes. Now that you’ve found the finest walking shoes San Diego has to offer, it’s time to start walking. See you around town!
