Best Women's Walking Shoes
There are several important factors to consider when choosing a new women's walking shoe. The sole will keep you stable, while the fabric can be breathable, washable, waterproof or a combination of them all. Most of the great women's walking shoes below are comfortable for long walks while being sleek enough to pass in a casual office. These excellent shoes can keep you comfortable in a variety of situations on and off the trails.

Merrell Waterproof Polar Moc Women's Walking Shoe

These Merrells are great women's walking shoes in inclement weather, offering plenty of support on wet and icy road conditions. While the Polar Mocs may seem stiff at first, they support the arches and ankles, and should loosen up after a little use. The Polar Mocs are waterproof without looking cheap or rubbery, and can be a great shoe for indoor and outdoor uses.

Birkenstock Boston Comfort Shoe

These soft clogs are comfortable trail shoes, available in a range of fabrics from suede to wool and leather. Birkenstocks clogs are so comfortable and supportive that many chefs choose them for long days of standing. The Boston offers a toe grip, plenty of arch support, and a shock-absorbent outer sole, making it a great shoe to go from rocky trails to mountain meadows.

Rockport Marta

Rockport is another classic brand for indoor-outdoor shoes, and the Marta is a slim, elegant choice. The Rockport Marta comes in black, ecru or white leather, with rubber soles that offer support on steep terrain. Rockport's unique mid-sole cushions your feet and provides subtle leg support, making it an excellent choice on treks. The Marta will easily become a favorite anytime shoe.

New Balance WW749 Women`s

This Oxford-style walking shoe is sporty and playfully rugged. The leather and mesh exterior makes the shoe breathable and lightweight, while the thick rubber sole keeps your feet comfortable on tough terrain. New Balance makes a range of popular, comfortable athletic shoes. While the WW749 has more of a sneaker aesthetic, it's definitely designed to put in long hours of trekking.

Rockport Faisel Women`s

The washable, waterproof Rockport Faisel's come in bright shades to bring a little of your true color to the trail. The leather shoe is machine washable. The Faisel's deeply grooved exterior sole is designed for long walking trips and flexibility on the road. The Faisel has the comfort and quality that many hikers have come to associate with the Rockport brand and their playful colors and streamlined design make them a nice shoe for casual errand days too.
