Wendy Bumgardner at About: walking has written a post that explains what to take into consideration when shopping for your walking shoes.
The report includes a description of the different shoe types and shapes, how to test their flexibility, some trying tips, a speciality store locator (USA only) and reviews of the top picks for each category of shoes (motion control, stability, cushioned and others).
Choosing a good walking (or running) pair of shoes is a complex endeavour, but I’m talking from experience when I say that it makes a huge difference. Wendy tells us what to do to choose wisely to avoid injuries and be comfortable. Here’s one paragraph or her text to keep in mind: "Invest in the right shoes to prevent injury and keep you walking in comfort. But don’t waste your money on stylish shoes that won’t perform well walking."
