Best Walking Shoes for Women of 2025

"I recently had a hip replacement and bought these slip-on shoes before my surgery based on my physical therapist's recommendation. I absolutely love them! They’ve made my recovery comfortable, functional, and successful. Durable, easy to wash, and stylish—I'm so thankful for these shoes and plan to buy more pairs!"

"I usually don't find shoes ordered online to be perfect, but these are the exception. They fit perfectly, are lightweight, and comfy! Plus, they are machine washable! I walk 2.5 miles daily, and I can't wait to take these out tomorrow. The slide feature is fantastic—just buy a pair!"

"I've owned several pairs of Sketchers in different styles, so I ordered a size 10 in these as well. They are super easy to put on and very comfortable for walking. Although I should have sized up, they still deliver a snug fit without slipping. Overall, I really like them!"

“I find these shoes to be incredibly comfortable. The wide fit is just right with no tight spots, which is rare for me. Usually, I spend over $100 for shoes this comfy, so the price is fantastic. Skechers always delivers quality shoes that are easy to wash and last a long time. These are replacing my old go walks that I wore for four years and were almost as comfortable. The easy lace-up design makes them a breeze to put on. I highly recommend these cute shoes, though I wish they came in more colors.”

“I absolutely love these shoes! I’ve walked a mile in them yesterday and three miles today, and they are super comfortable and supportive. I normally use my own insoles, but the ones in these shoes seem great, so I didn’t need to add anything. I wear an 8.5 or 9 wide, and the 9 fits perfectly. My toes have enough space without feeling squished. I appreciate that they are vegan and look cute too. I’m definitely considering buying more pairs!”

“These shoes are lightweight and have great cushioning. After wearing some new boots that were bothering my feet, switching to these sneakers made my feet feel so much better. I was able to be active all day without discomfort.”

"I wear a size 6.5 and they fit true to size! With great arch support and a cushioned heel, they are lightweight and my toes feel comfortable. This is my third pair of Ryka athletic shoes, and I expect them to hold up just as well as my previous pairs."

"I absolutely love the fit and comfort of these shoes! They are easy to put on and have a high-end appearance. They feel lightweight, and I plan to purchase again."

"My previous Ryka Devotion 2's were my favorite walking shoes. After switching to the Devotion X's, I found they resolved my issues with toe and heel support while retaining the comfort I love. The toe box has plenty of room, preventing discomfort even after hours of wear."

"These shoes are super comfy! I do a lot of biking and walking, and I can't wear sneakers anymore because they aggravate my high arches. These shoes feel like I'm walking on clouds and are easy to slip into. They last a long time, and maintenance is simple: a light scrub and they go in the washing machine. I have a pair for biking and walking, another for casual use, and this third pair is for those occasions when I need to look nice. Highly recommend!"

"I find these shoes to be very comfy and easy to put on or take off. The flexible and lightweight design makes them perfect for everything from business casual to casual outings. I ordered my normal size, but I should mention that if you have wide feet, you might want to consider lighter socks because there's not much room for bulkier ones. They wash well, and I'm tempted to order more colors to make these my everyday shoes!"

"I've been wearing various styles of Skechers for years, and these are the only shoes I pack for my trips because they are so comfortable and versatile. My last pair of Go Walks were worn everywhere until they developed holes! I found these on Amazon for $30, and they fit perfectly right out of the box. I can't say enough about my Go Walks—they're a steal!"

"This is my second pair of these Sketchers walking shoes, and I can't express how pleased I am. They are lightweight, sleek, and extremely comfortable, with the added bonus of being actually wide! I've struggled to find wide shoes that fit before, but these are perfect. I plan to order them repeatedly as needed."

"I decided to try these shoes for my trip to Vegas, and I was pleasantly surprised. They fit great with my inserts, and despite my pronation and uneven leg length, they were comfortable and affordable. I walked a lot during my trip, and I had no problems at all!"

"After a long wait, I finally received my Sketchers, and they were worth it! These are the most comfortable shoes I've owned. I was a bit hesitant to order online, but I knew to go a half size larger than my dress shoes. They are slim fitting and not bulky, making them easy to slip on and off without rubbing my heel. I would highly recommend these for anyone seeking a comfortable everyday shoe."

"I absolutely love these sneakers! They are so easy to slip on and wear. Incredibly comfortable and even better than my ON Clouds. They fit true to size and appear very well made. I'll update my review in a couple of months to see how they hold up."

"I bought these shoes because I have plantar fasciitis and often struggle to find comfortable footwear. I was pleasantly surprised! They are extremely comfortable for my 10-hour retail shifts. I had to buy a second pair! They look great with everything, and the fit is perfect. If you're searching for comfort, look no further!"

"I had never bought slip-on shoes before, but these caught my eye. As a teacher spending all day on concrete, I need comfort. These shoes did not disappoint! They are stylish and supportive. However, I should have ordered a full size up; the cushioning made my foot slide forward a bit. But overall, I would recommend them!"

"I was skeptical at first, but these shoes are incredibly comfortable and stylish! I wear a size 8, ordered an 8, and they fit perfectly. I’m glad I decided to give them a chance after reading the reviews. Great price and supportive!"

"Finding shoes has always been a challenge for me due to my foot arthritis and past injuries. These sneakers are so supportive and comfortable. I ordered half a size up to fit my orthotic, and I’m really happy with my purchase!"

"I bought these specifically for a trip to Las Vegas, and they were comfy right from the start! I walked miles without any discomfort. Now, I wear them to work every day. They fit great and are slip-resistant, which is a plus for my job!"

"I was looking for a comfortable shoe that wasn't too heavy but offered great support and looked cute. After reading the reviews, I decided to give these a try. They fit perfectly, with plenty of room for my toes. The shoelaces are a little long, but I just double tie them, and it works fine. I'm a size 11, and they fit like a dream. I highly recommend them!"

"These shoes are very nice looking and fit comfortably on my wide feet, even with my orthotics. The shoelaces were quite long, so I started tying them in double bows. Eventually, I figured out that threading them through the second set of holes at the top worked wonders, allowing me to tie them with just one bow, which looks better. While the design is a little boxy, comfort is my priority."

"I found these walking shoes to be very comfortable, but they are the softest ones I've tried so far. Unfortunately, my right foot tends to overpronate, and I don't think these will provide enough support for that. They are true to size. I have a narrow foot, especially at the heel, and these fit well. They look nice, but I may need to keep searching for a more supportive option."

"I purchased these sneakers in desperation for wide width shoes. They arrived just in time for my conference in Las Vegas, and I was shocked at how good my feet felt after standing for over 12 hours each day. Typically, I end up in pain, but these shoes made a huge difference. I walked around 35 miles in them, and they held up beautifully. I usually wear a size 10.5 wide, but I went with the 11 wide. No tightness at all!"

"I've been wearing Ryka walking shoes for over 20 years, and they never disappoint. They always provide the right support and comfort that I need, especially since I’m on my feet a lot. These new shoes are no exception!"

"I was really pleased with my purchase of these shoes. I'm a UK ladies size 6, and they fit perfectly. While they may not make my feet look dainty, the comfort and support are outstanding, particularly with my high arch and plantar fasciitis. I would definitely recommend these for anyone seeking a great walking shoe."

"I was a bit hesitant at first, as I'm usually in Nikes, but I decided to try these shoes based on the reviews about their comfort. I went with a size 9.5, and they fit well with enough space for my wide feet. While I do feel a slight pinch at the back, I think that's due to sizing up. Overall, I love that they're comfortable and can handle 10,000 steps easily!"

"I've tried many sneakers, but these are the best! They are incredibly comfortable, reasonably priced, and stylish without being bulky. I often deal with foot and back pain, and these sneakers have significantly helped alleviate that. I’m planning to buy more pairs because they’ve been my most satisfying purchase on Amazon!"

"These shoes have been a great choice for me. They fit my custom orthotics well and were super comfortable right out of the box. However, I noticed after just two months, they started to show signs of wear, which is a bit disappointing."
