Healthy and shoes

Choice of a favorite brand is very subjective. Don't pick the brands that are geared toward fashion. Pick the tried and true athletic brands. Second, pick a brand that is comfortable. You should realize that everyone's feet are different. People with narrow feet for example would enjoy Nike. In the last few years New Balance, a traditionally great running shoe catering to the plethora of foot types/pronations, have developed a race walking specific shoe that many of the U.S. elite and non-elites use.

If you wish to race walk, it is my preference to buy running shoes and walk in them. I find the proper running shoe to be more stable and durable. However, if you are healthwalking a quality pair of walking shoes may be more comfortable. Either way, I would pick a shoe with the following  characteristics:

Low heel.

Stable heel.

Flexible toe.

Don't wait until your walking shoes are worn to find another pair. It is a good idea to have the next pair on hand. When you realize that you a new pair, life often gets in the way and you tend to procrastinate.

Another common problem may be that the store you go to does not have  anything that is comfortable for you. Now you have placed yourself in the position of having to walk in worn out shoes.

As a general rule of thumb, you should replace your walking shoes when you
have walked in them for about 400 miles. Everybody is different. Some
people strike harder or softer than others. Some walking shoes wear better
than others. By looking at the bottom and sides of the walking shoes, you can tell when it is time to replace them.

Also, if your walking shoes are soft or you strike the ground very hard,
you may compress the heel of your walking shoes. You may also see your
walking shoe leaning to one side. If your walking shoes clearly exhibit
these signs, you may want to replace your walking shoes.
