Endless January, check. Small but mighty February, check. Daylight savings, check (DST haters, admit it—you loved the time shift). You’ve made it through the bulk of hibernation, with one final step: the annual shoe-closet shuffle. It’s time to shed your winter boots in favor of lightweight, supportive sneakers, because walking season is upon us. Can we get a hallelujah?
Rearranging your footwear racks might expose a few old pairs of walking shoes from springtimes past—but while there's a certain badge of honor that comes with holding out until there are holes in your soles and your laces are unraveling, your feet deserve a little more support. Consider it a spring refresh, and look no further than QVC for podiatrist-approved, arch-friendly-but-chic options for every occasion, from long-distance strolls in the park to work-from-coffee-shop days that turn into happy hours with friends.

Revitalign Orthotic Mesh Walking Sneakers — $84
Originally $94
Found: the ultimate Hoka dupe. Need we say more? (Okay, we will.) Designed with removable footbeds, metatarsal pads, and deep heel cups, these breathable mesh sneakers offer support and stability in Hoka’s signature style. Bonus: Revitalign constructs its footbeds with ultra-fresh microbials to help keep unwanted odors to a minimum.
Ryka Knit Slip-On Sneakers with ACTIVfoam — $80
Originally $87
Skip the shoe tying (and the inevitable mid-walk pause-and-crouch to tend to undone bunny ears) with a pair of knit slip-ons that are just as supportive as any laced-up option. An anatomical insole, cushioned foam midsole, and compression-molded rubber outsole work together to create a solid foundation for long walks, quick errands, and puttering in the yard.
Dr. Scholl's Slip-Ons — $54
Originally $80
Slip on these stretchy Dr. Scholl’s—read: the MVP of supportive walking shoes—for your roll-out-of-bed walk to yoga or with jeans and a tee for a city stroll (the tan fabric goes with literally everything). Alongside the padded heel, arch support, and rubber-blend outsole that’s durable but super lightweight, the shoe’s lining is sustainably made from recycled plastic bottles. That's just another reason to grab them while they're 32 percent off.
Coconut by Matisse Lace-Up Fashion Sneaker — $85
À la the always-classic, ever-popular Adidas Sambas, this pair of beige-and-gold low-tops is your new all-day, wear-with-anything staple. A rounded toe and rubber sole make for a well padded fit that’s totally vegan, and the classic style can easily transition from one on-your-feet activity to the next (no need to weigh yourself down with an extra pair of shoes in your tote).
Revitalign Orthotic Suede High Top Sneaker — $99
Originally $110
If high-tops are more your speed, grab this pair in orthotic-grade suede. Just like the Hoka dupes, these sneakers are made with Revitalign’s supportive technology (in the form of removable footbeds, memory foam, metatarsal pads, deep heel cupping, and ultra-fresh microbials) and might-as-well-be-slippers comfort. Lace up *or* zip up in a neutral like light brown or black, or flex some flair with a pair in olive green, red, or shimmery off-white—and venture out with an extra spring in your step.
