As someone who deals with supination (my feet roll outwards), slip on shoes tend to be a struggle. That being said, I do like these because while you can step into them hands-free, they also have laces that can be tightened to keep your feet in place during workouts.
If you don’t to shell out for a dedicated pair of walking sneakers, and need something more versatile, I recommend these Allbirds. I find them neutral enough that I can wear them with jeans to work, but comfortable enough that I can still get my steps in while walking around the city without dealing with foot pain.
If you’re looking for a shoe with a lot of cushioning for your run, the Gel-Nimbus is a solid pick. They’re supportive and lightweight, making them a good option for people just starting on a running journey.
If you, like me, prefer to do your walking on trails instead of pavement, a good hiking sneaker is a must. For off-road walking, I love the Moab as they’ve got enough support for distances and to keep your ankle stable, along with a good amount of outsole traction to keep you from slipping on uneven surfaces.
If you’re looking to pick up your pace a bit, the lightweight Saucony Kinvara is an ideal shoe. For $80, this is a good neutral running shoe for people that don’t want to be dragged down by a ton of excess cushioning.
Good running and walking sneakers can be an investment. These everyday Under Armour shoes are always an affordable option, making them even more appealing when they are on sale.
The Adrenaline GTS is another editor-favorite, also beloved by Jennifer Garner, which we spotted for 29% off on Amazon (bringing the price just under $100). They’re a solid all-around shoe with enhanced arch support, which is key if you’ve got ankle issues or tend to over-pronate.
The stretch knit upper of this Orthofeet sneaker makes it ideal for people who need support but also tend to need a wider width. The roomy shoe has a lot of flexibility and a wide toe box. It was picked by podiatrists as the best overall shoe for wide feet.
These are my personal favorite recovery sneaker, because I can actually move the day after a long walk or hike without pain. These slide on and feel like you’re walking on air, and they have a nice snug elastic feel, not unlike a compression sock. They aren’t meant for long distances or tough terrain, but if you’re a runner or walker, these are a great companion shoe for your rest days.
