Fitting For A shoe
A good fitting for your walking shoes is of utmost importance. The best thing to do is to find an athletic shop in your town. Either at a departmental store section or a mall specializing in shoes. This is where serious runners, walkers and athletes go to buy their sporting shoes. Locate a store that has a fit expert who will take the time to fit you with the right shoes. Getting a good fit is the first step of getting the right shoes. Your comfort cannot be compromised just by listening to a salesperson who does not even know what pronation is. To be confident of an enjoyable walking experience is to get a right fit for your feet.
Flat and No Flare Heels
Flared heel is needed for the runner because they land on mid-foot. It is for the runners' stability. For walkers, the flared heel would get in the way because they strike first with the heel and roll through the step. High heel is a no-no for walking shoes, the heel should be no more than an inch higher than the sole under the ball of the foot. Walkers also do not need flared soles .
Flexibility
Walking shoes must be flexible and not rigid . Rigid shoes may cause shin splints. Twisting, bending and rocking are tests for the flexibility of the shoes. Twist them and they would twist. Bend them and they should bend at the ball of the foot , not in the middle of the arch. To rock the shoes, place them on a flat surface. When you poke the toe down, the heel would rise off the surface. They are ok for walking if they pass these tests.
The best walking shoes are the ones that fit your feet best for your style of walking .
