Our picks for the best shoes for walking, whether you're hitting the road, treadmill, or trails.
Winner: Best Road Walking Shoe
Asics GEL-Fluent LV
This flowery, well-cushioned shoe adds a spring to your step. Plus, its supportive heel and flexible outsole point your foot in the right direction as you stride, helping to prevent injury.
"They felt as comfortable as my running shoes," says one tester, a racewalking coach who has competed in an Olympic trial for the sport. "They're supportive, athletic, and light."
($85, asics.com for stores)

You're off base. Skechers "Shape Ups" are better than any walking shoe I've ever owned! They tone your abs, thighs, calfs, butt, etc. when walking. They're great!
