Every individual should own comfortable walking shoes, for any number of situations. This type of footwear is a must for those whose back or hips may cause them problems when walking, or even for women who have become pregnant and need the support for their growing frame. There are also those individuals who need proper support when standing on their feet at work for long periods of time. Finally, this type of footwear is needed for simply taking a walk.

According to renowned footwear websites, the Mephisto AllRounder Niro is a great choice for footwear that needs to be worn all day. The sneaker has a Mary-Jane look to it and comes in an array of colors. It has an anatomical footbed that can be removed as necessary to provide the right level of comfort. With the upper shoe made of suede and fabric, and a GORETEX lining that stands up against wind and water, the Mephisto AllRounder Niro is as stylish as it is functional. It is specifically created to absorb shock, thereby reducing the impact on joints, knees and back that can often weaken them.

The MBT Sport 2 sneakers are next, and these are designed to tone the body whilst providing support. The muscles are engaged when wearing them and posture is positively affected. Stress on the hips as well as other joints is also reduced. MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology, which is apt given the physiological design of the footwear. The MBT Sport 2 sneakers are also a good choice when dealing with ligament and tendon injuries.

The Merrell Siren Sport is the third choice, which works well wherever you decide to walk, be it on the pavement or on a nature trail. This shoe will give you balance and support. It too has an anatomical footbed, which is designed to naturally contour the foot from toe to heel. The air-mesh tongue of the shoe relieves any pressure that the laces can cause. You will get really good traction from the durable rubber soles.

For men, however, Merrell shoes come in first place. The Chameleon 4 Stretch footwear works on multiple terrains and is flexible as well as supportive. There is additional protection provided by the externally molded heel. Meanwhile, the fit is made secure with the elastic lace lock system.

The Vivi Barefoot Offroad Mid is different in that it is a hiking boot. It is both waterproof and breathable. Inspired by the concept of bare feet, it is also made from recycled rubber, which provides the necessary traction for any surface.

The Ecco Seawalker look more like a shoe than the others, and it is also made of leather in the uppers. Inspired by athletic shoes, the soles provide all-day comfort for active walkers. The natural cork and polyurethane midsole allows for good absorption of shock as well as a good fit throughout.

When investing in comfortable walking shoes, you should feel a difference in your gait and posture, and your heel should feel fully supported. There should be enough room by your toes for them to not feel pinched. Look for a removable sole, which is important if you need to use custom orthotics.
