Health Tip: Shopping for a Walking Shoe
By LadyLively on December 23, 2014

Ready to get walking? It’s great exercise, but first make sure your feet are equipped with the proper walking shoes.
AARP.org offers these suggestions:
- Always measure your feet and shop for the size of the largest foot.
- Look for shoes that accommodate your special feet, such as those for flat feet or high arches.
- Opt for a cushioned, supportive shoe if you struggle with knee, back or heel pain. If you have pain in the big toe, look for a wide, soft shoe.
- Choose shoes that fit your environment, for example, waterproof shoes if you live in a rainy climate, soles with traction for a snowy climate, or more protective shoes if you walk many miles each week.
