Read: Our expert guide to fitting your footwearWhen to replace your walking boots

Move with agility and assurance on your next outing with our collection of women's walking shoes. If you find traditional boots too heavy but require more support and grip than a standard trainer can offer, this footwear provides the ideal solution . You can keep moving through changing conditions, as many styles are built with waterproof and breathable membranes that form a reliable seal against rain and puddles. This technology is key to preventing discomfort on wet ground, as it stops water from getting in while letting internal heat and moisture escape.

Long walks demand footwear that can reduce fatigue. These walking shoes feature cushioned midsoles designed to absorb shock, taking the strain off your joints with every step. The construction focuses on a secure, foot-hugging fit that prevents internal slipping, giving you greater stability on uneven paths. For dependable footing, the outsoles are made with durable rubber compounds and patterned with lugs that supply excellent grip on loose or wet surfaces. Whether you're on a towpath, a forest trail, or a local park run, these comfortable walking shoes for women deliver the lightweight, responsive performance you need.

Our top picks include:

 

Merrell Women's Moab Speed 2 GTX Shoes: Known for its Gore-Tex waterproofing, excellent grip, and comfort on varied terrain.

 

Salomon Womens X Ultra 5 GTX Shoes: Lightweight with a women-specific fit, offering breathability and waterproof protection.

 

Keen Womens Targhee IV Waterproof Shoes: Designed for comfort with a low-density EVA midsole and a glove-like fit.

Look for features like waterproofing (e.g., Gore-Tex), cushioned midsoles for comfort, durable outsoles for grip, and a fit tailored to your foot shape. Always try them on with walking socks.

Yes, it’s advisable to go half a size or one size up to accommodate thicker socks and foot swelling during long walks.

More cushioning can enhance comfort and reduce impact on hard surfaces, but it should be balanced with proper support to avoid instability on uneven terrain.

A moderate heel drop (around 6-10mm) is ideal for walking as it provides a natural stride while offering adequate support.

Brands like Merrell, Salomon, and Keen are highly regarded for their quality, comfort, and durability in walking footwear.
