Walking is a low-impact workout that boosts your heart rate, supports mental health, and is far easier on your joints than running. The catch? All those miles still add up, which means your shoes really matter.
Over the years, our team of editors has tested hundreds of shoes, so we can recommend only the best styles for walking , running , cross-training , and more. Supportive, cushioned walking shoes aren't cheap, and many of our editors' favorites cost more than $100—but you don't have to pay full price because our editors found Black Friday discounts on some of our top picks.
I'm a shopping editor who tracks deals for a living, and right now, you can save up to 61 percent on top-performing brands like Brooks , New Balance, and more. With proven cushioning, stability, and comfort, shop the shoe deals that Women's Health editors genuinely wear and recommend below.
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25
After testing dozens of walking shoes for our 2026 Fitness Awards , the Adrenaline GTS 25 took the top spot for its near-perfect balance between cushioning and stability. That comfort starts with the 25's updated midsole, which feels plusher than previous models without losing an ounce of stability. It still features the brand's signature GuardRails technology—firmer along the sides and softer through the center—to gently lock in your stride.
Hoka Mach 7
The Hoka Mach 7 is style editor Shannen Zitz's personal favorite. While it's technically a running shoe, she loves it for recovery and walking. "I've been living in this sneaker since returning from a week-long hiking trip where I logged about 20K steps per day," she says. "It's flexible, lightweight, and cushioned—it basically feels like a hug for my super tired feet." The cushioning also doesn't feel bulky compared to other Hoka models, such as the Bondi 8.
Brooks Ghost 17
If versatility is your priority, the Brooks Ghost 17 delivers. With upgraded nitrogen-fused cushioning, the latest version packs even more padding than the Ghost 16. Impressively, the higher heel stack doesn't feel too squishy or wobbly. It's a great do-it-all shoe for long walks, standing all day, and running.
The soft midsole offers the just-right level of give, absorbing impact without feeling too soft or marshmallowy. Plus, the breathable air mesh upper adds to the barely-there feel, and the plush ankle collar doesn't chafe or rub at all.
Dr. Scholl's Time Off Sneaker
This TikTok-famous sneaker reigns supreme for walking and has earned a spot in our guides to the best platform sneakers and best travel shoes for good reason: it delivers all-day comfort without looking overly athletic. The 1.5-inch platform gives this shoe major style points, elongating the legs and giving a little extra height without that heavy, clunky feel some platform sneakers have.
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24
Plantar fasciitis and the heel pain that comes with it can quickly halt your walking workouts. The 2025 WH Fitness Award-winning , best overall plantar fasciitis walking shoe, Brooks Women's Adrenaline GTS 24, delivers stability and support to keep you (and your plantar fascia) feeling good over time.
New Balance 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer
The New Balance 608 V5 Trainer has over 38,000 Amazon reviews, and for good reason. The brand integrated its signature ABZORB midsole, designed to reduce joint impact during walking through its cushioning and compression resistance. Plus, they come in narrow, standard, and wide sizing.
Skechers Go Walk Flex Azriel
For those who appreciate a good slip-on shoe, the Skechers Go Walk Flex Azriel's lightweight, breathable mesh upper is great for sweaty feet. The ultra-cushioned midsole also offers great arch support.
"This is a solid no-frills walking shoe that's perfect for errands, quick hot girl strolls, or for walking your dog," says associate style and reviews editor Shannen Zitz. "I love that it slips on easily while still having the appearance of a classic sneaker with bungee laces that never come undone."
New Balance 1540v3 Sneaker
If your main problem is overpronation or supination, the New Balance 1540v3 will lock your feet down. The brand integrates its "Rollbar stability post system," designed to prevent your ankles and feet from rolling inward or outward. On top of that, dense foam is in the midsole for added arch support, while the collar is tough for ankle security. Despite its firmness, the EVA foam remains plush. Extra-wide sizing is available to accommodate a variety of foot types (in addition to narrow, standard, and wide).
Hoka Clifton 10
Diana Rogers, DPM , a podiatric foot and ankle surgery specialist in Crystal Lake, Illinois, and Casey Pidich, MD, a podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon based in the Bronx, New York, both recommend Hoka's Clifton series to patients for arch support, so you know it's a good one.
Pidich loves that the design encourages great form—the sole ensures that your feet rock off the ground rather than push off your toes. Rogers specifically recommends the shoe to her patients with plantar fasciitis (a condition that causes arch pain) for this exact reason. "The lightweight feel of this shoe propels feet forward rather than making them do extra work," she says.
Nike Pegasus 42
Lined with mesh for ultra-breathable comfort, the Pegasus is a winner thanks to its slim, low heel that helps maintain a smooth walking cadence. We love that the 42 is lighter than the previous model and has a curvier toe box that gives more toe spring, a smoother ride, and a roomier fit.
