The Best Walking Shoes for Women
Too often we find ourselves having to choose between grandma shoes and cute, yet impractical footwear on vacation—a decision that makes packing a nightmare, and getting ready in the morning an hours-long affair. To put an end to this dilemma for once and for all, we went out in search of the best walking shoes for women. What we found? Sporty slip-ons, cool sneakers, and platform runners that add height without the heel. You can thank us later.

Allbirds Wool Runners
Allbirds’ cult-favorite runners are idolized among travelers, and it’s easy to see why. They’re lightweight, cozy, and pretty much as environmentally-friendly as shoes can come. If the wool construction has you iffy, fear not—they’re completely breathable and actually wick moisture and minimize odor, so you can even wear them without socks.

This Nike sneaker helps athletes improve their game while also allowing the not-so-sporty to stay stylish on the sidelines.
Everlane The Day Glove ReKnit Shoe
Looks like a ballet flat, feels like air. Everlane’s new version of the Day Glove molds to your foot thanks to its breathable knit material and cushioned leather insole. Plus, the outsoles are made from recycled plastic bottles, so this shoe is a sustainable option as well as a fashion-forward one.
