Hoka One Bondi 8
My podiatrist recommended these to me. Three widths. Can remove insert and use orthotics if necessary. I walk 45 minutes three times a week and also wear casually. They've been great.

Bought these Brooks Ghost 14s. I won't buy anything else.

I'm a fan of Adidas. With that said I had a pair that had the 100% foam soles. Those didn't last at ALL. Will not be getting any with foam soles again for walking/working out. these were used only at the gym and lasted maybe 6 months before the foam soles actually had concave voids in them.
My neighbor who just finished 4 years of track and cross country in high school swears by Brooks, same brand Jose mentioned above.

Brooks Ghost or Adrenaline

. I won't buy anything else.

I second this. I have bad feet (have had 3 foot surgeries to date) and my orthopedist said I need to exclusively wear Hokas to help preserve my feet. I have them in 4 different colors and they are the only shoe I wear these days.

They look higher than they feel, honestly.

I can only wear addidas because they don't dig into my heels. They aren't really made for walking but I've tried every brand of higher end rinning/walking shoes and they all dig into my heels. I walk 20 to 25 miles a week on concrete and the kaptir cloud foams are comfortable and last me about 6 months

I don't see mine on Adidas' site any longer. They were almost identical to the Lite Racer Adapt 4.0 shoes except they tied; same sole and same top portion with no separate tongue. Extremely comfortable, just the foam sole wore out. At the time I only used them for about 10-15 miles a week on the tread mill and various indoor weight excercises. Never wore them outdoors. I may take a look at those when the ones I bought in a pinch wear out.

As far as comfort goes, I am on my 2nd pair of Skechers Go Walks. No laces to tie and as I said they are super comfortable.

As mentioned.. Hokah
Posted on 10/5/22 at 2:10 pm to Bow dude72
I walk for an hour a day and my last 3 pairs have been Brooks Dyda. Softest ride I have ever worn and I have been running/walking for 40+ years. I get >500 miles per pair.

Hoka Bondi are great as mentioned. If you’re going Brooks for walking look at the Addiction.

(1) understand your gait - are you neutral, an over-pronator or an under-pronator (2) Find a brand that fits you foot well - tons to choose from, shoe fits vary widely by brand and by person (3) Pick level of cushion you prefer from within the best fitting brand's line - doesn't matter if its Hoka (make my feet hurt, wife swears by them), Brooks (make some great cushion shoes, but are 1/2 size off for me), Asics (fit me pretty well, just something that I can't put my finger on that isn't perfect) NB (Currently Fresh Foam 1080 is checking all of my boxes - neutral, as good a cushion as anything out there) and so on and so forth.
It's great if you have access to an athletic shoe store with runners that can help you with fit.

I ended up going with the Brooks Ghost 14. So far they are really comfortable.

I use Brooks Adrenaline if I know I'll be walking around a lot. Weird thing is I hate running/jogging in them.
