Get my monthly shortlist of the best walking & running shoes (plus real sales worth grabbing):
I’m James, a foot & ankle specialist, and I’ve tested hundreds of walking shoes. In this video, I cover the best walking shoes of 2026 by category, so you can skip straight to what suits you best:
• Best overall walking shoe
• Best for standing all day
• Best stability walking shoe
• Best neutral walking shoe
• Most comfortable walking shoe
I explain who each shoe is best for, who should avoid it, and what actually matters once you’re past 10–15,000 steps.
If you’re choosing between two shoes, drop a question in the comments.

what is a good shoe for 2-3 mile walks that would help with a nagging achilles ? also need something with all day comfort
Do rockered shoes like the Glideride Max make your feet ache if you wear them all day, even if they feel like they fit well? After wearing them for a long time, my feet feel kind of compressed, even though they’re not. The shoes feel great for running and walking—it’s just wearing them all day that feels different.
By the way, thank you for your videos, I really love them!
I was thinking Hoka before I saw this video, but I’m not sure now.
I don’t want to buy asaics (if I spelled it correct) because my toes wore through them quickly.
I do a lot! of walking if anyone had a recommendation it would be very appreciated!
I can’t stand these big sole shoe trend. There is no way this is safe or good for your feet.😬
