When looking for a new pair of walking or hiking shoes, one key factor to consider is the fit of the shoes. For those with wider feet, it is essential to look for wide fit walking shoes that provide ample room and support. These shoes are designed to fit a wider foot shape, ensuring a comfortable fit throughout your long walks.
Wide fit walking shoes are designed with extra room in the toe box and midfoot area, allowing for a more natural and comfortable fit. This is especially important for individuals with wider feet, as regular walking shoes may feel too tight and constricting. The wider fit provides enough space for your toes to move freely and prevents any discomfort or pain that can arise from a tight fit.
In addition to a wide fit, the best walking shoes should also provide excellent support and cushioning. Our range of shoes that have a supportive midsole and a cushioned insole to absorb shock and provide stability. This will help reduce any strain or impact on your feet and joints while walking.

Lightweight walking shoes are ideal for both men and women, as they provide the necessary support and comfort without weighing you down. These types of shoes are designed with materials that are lighter in weight, such as mesh uppers and EVA midsoles, which make them the ideal choice for those who spend a lot of time on their feet.
Walking shoes that are lightweight offer several benefits to both men and women. Firstly, they reduce the strain on your feet and legs, allowing you to walk longer distances without feeling fatigued. The lighter weight also makes them more flexible, allowing your feet to move more naturally as you walk, which can help reduce injuries.
