Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, or exercising, long hours spent walking can do a number on your body.

From tired soles to achy backs, you may be surprised by the damage that such a low-impact activity can cause—which is exactly why you need good shoes. And while walking shoes may feature many of the same design specs and tech as sneakers made for marathons, the latter tend to be a lot more lightweight than what walking requires.

“Almost everyone who walks excessively needs cushioned and corrective shoes that work with their foot type,” explains Dr. Melissa Lockwood, a podiatrist out of Bloomington, Illinois. “Whether you have a high arch or flat feet, corrective shoes will help to avoid muscle, tendon, and ligament issues from overuse.”

Some of her favorite brands include Asics and Brooks, though, when in doubt, visit a running store to find out exactly what your feet need. Look for a walking shoe that provides plenty of shock absorption, arch support, and cushioning, but at the end of the day, comfort is key.
