The Best Walking Shoes for Women

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.

This Nike sneaker helps athletes improve their game while also allowing the not-so-sporty to stay stylish on the sidelines.
