Asics Gel Cardio Walker
The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine recommend the Asics Gel Cardio Walker as a motion control walking shoe. This shoe is built with a breathable leather and synthetic rubber sole and a gel cushioning system that attenuates shock during impact phase. Power walkers benefit from this shock absorption feature as they tend to hit the ground heavier and faster. This model also has a Rocker Action design midsole that promotes heel-to-toe gait.
Brooks Addiction Walker
With an approval from both the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine Shoe Review Committee and Walkaboutmag.com shoe reviewers, the Brooks Addiction Walker makes an excellent choice for walkers who need plenty of stability and support. This model is suitable for overpronating walkers with low arches. It offers HydroFlow technology to enhance midsole cushioning and shock absorption in the heel and forefoot. Additionally, it is engineered with configuration to enable the walker's midsole and outsole to support the foot in an efficient and balanced position for added heel strike and toe-off control and flexibility.
Adidas Supernova Cushion
Adidas Supernova Cushion is recommended by Walkaboutmag.com as a neutrally cushioned shoe for fitness walkers. It is also well received by Amazon customers with a 4.5 star rating out of 5. Balanced and responsive, the Supernova fits well and offers a comfortable and accommodating upper fit. It provides a sock-like upper fit with a GeoFit construction for improved comfort. Other features include a torsion system for midfoot integrity and an adiPRENE insert and adiPRENE+ midsole for extra cushioning.
