A second thing to consider
is how sturdy the shoe is. If you will be walking over a variety
of uneven surfaces, you will want to buy a shoe that has a
thicker sole, to cushion your feet from the impact of stepping
on rocks and twigs. Third, the shoe should fit comfortably,
being neither too big or too small. These tips will ensure that
you buy a shoe that you are happy to walk in for a long time. Because a walking shoe has
to support you for hours every day, a good walking shoe has to
be comfortable and look good for any occasion. By following
these tips, and reading online reviews (like those
here) you can ensure that you choose an attractive and well-fitting pair of women's walking shoes.

Neutral Colors. Although you can buy several pairs of walking shoes, you really only need one sturdy and well-wearing pair. Keep in mind when shopping that the shoes need to go well with a variety of outfits, from working out at the gym to more formal situations. A pair of shoes in a toned-down brown or black color look appropriate with all clothes, and do not show dirt as much as do brighter or lighter colors. However, even within this more subdued palette there are plenty of choices. As well as traditional earth tones, rust or matte black are a less-seen color to consider buying walking shoes in.

Sturdiness. Choose your
shoes according to the surface on which you will most often
be walking. If you will doing most of your walking on dirt
or gravel roads, or through wooded areas, consider a pair of
shoes with a sturdier sole. These shoes are designed to
prevent your feet from feeling small rocks or twigs. Shoes
with thicker soles can make walking over uneven surfaces
much more comfortable. Shoes with more padding can also
prevent the sides of your feet from being jarred when
walking over less-comfortable surfaces. Online resources
(like this
article ) can help you learn more about different things to consider when buying shoes.

3. Proper Fit. Since
you will be spending a lot of time in these shoes, it is
very important that you feel comfortable walking in them.
You should have your feet measured before you buy shoes, as
the best size of shoe for you may not be the size you have
always worn. Articles (here
is a good one) can help you decide which shoe fit is best for you. The shoe should not be so tight that it is uncomfortable, nor so loose that you feet move around in them when you walk. These tips can help you choose a walking shoe that is both stylish and comfortable to spend hours in every day.
