It takes a lot to make it on my list of the best walking shoe guide, but this pair from New Balance was a shoo-in.
That's because, in my experience, it's hard to find shoes with genuinely grippy soles, with even some of the best trail shoes slipping underfoot in wet weather. These shoes are designed for trail running but work just as well when walking on slick concrete.
They seem popular too, because reductions of 20% on men's and women's models I spotted at REI yesterday, November 26, have disappeared.
Thankfully, Amazon has reduced the price by up to 25% (discount varies by size).
I rated these shoes 4 out of 5 stars when I tested them early this year. The tongue is attached to the rest of the shoe by elastic tabs, which means that the upper rolls and flexes with your foot as you walk. I wasn't a huge fan of this feature, as it left gaps for rain to get in, but it does make for a super flexible shoe.
