There are three essential factors that should be taken into consideration before purchasing a new pair of walking shoes. Stability - the shoes should have a balanced and secure feel throughout range of motion. Flexibility - the shoes should allow for a good degree of give at the base of the toes, providing smooth motion. Comfort - walking shoes should comprise contours and padding conformed closely to the feet, providing a snug fit at the heel and midfoot, with ample room in the forefoot.
