Comfortable for long walks, but not super athletic

I like these shoes for walking.  They are comfortable, light weight, breathable shoes.  If I find I need more arch support, that's a quick remedy with something like Dr. Scholl's inserts.  Overall, this was a good value for New Balance.

I bought these as i was travelling and only taking carry on luggage and i wanted shoes that could double for walks and some light hikes if need be. I wouldn't take these off pavement that often, but they filled in when they needed to- though I think the sole could be just a tad thicker/stiffer-a few times I felt the rocks and gratings right through the bottom of the shoes. Great for office use or urban walks though.

These sandals look great on my feet, and they have lots of padding in the foot bed which I need. They're comfortable for 1 km walks, but the straps rub if I walk further at a time.

A very nice pair of walking shoes. My needs were somewhat strange: I wanted something acceptable for the opera house, yet rugged enough for hiking trails along the Mediterranean. I figure I can get away with these at the theater, though I did take the precaution of ordering another set of laces, a duller gray that wouldn't be quite so contrasting. The Lowa Renegade IIs were actually a better fit, and for most people probably a better choice, but I sweat a lot on the trail, and I figured the Mesh Lo's would be more comfortable. Unfortunately the fit is a bit different, which is why I have knocked off one star. For my feet (again, perhaps somewhat strange), they are a bit loose in the heel and a bit snug at the ball of the foot. (The  Renegade II's were just fine in those respects.) However, I have been walking four miles a day on asphalt to get ready for the trip (making sure I don't get them muddy, so they'll look good at the opera), and they're perfectly comfortable. I do find that I must wear wool socks because cotton seems to wrinkle underfoot and that's a bit of a bother. I've never noticed that in my trainers or my more conventional hiking boots, both of which are New Balance.

I bought these for walking the dog.  I wanted something different than the typical walking shoe.  Cute shoes and fairly comfortable, although I don't think they'd be good for long walks (more than 3 miles).  I usually walk about two miles a day and these work great for that!

Cute and pretty comfortable. I don't think it's intended for long walks. The back edge of the shoe hurt my foot.

This shoe is very light and feel like you're wearing slippers, yet there is a good sole and good padding so you feel comfortable walking.  Since it stretches some, there is no breaking in period.  It is great for wearing at work when you are sitting down.  I wouldn't recommend it for long walks as it has no arch support to speak of and the sole is not that thick, so it could be tiring and the heat of the ground could get through.  If you plan to walk in it more, perhaps an orthotic would be a good choice if you need arch support.  I live in Arizona, so this is great for the heat.  It definitely breathes, and it is very comfortable with medium weight socks.  They are great for casual wear, for wearing with jeans for a little dressier look, or "business casual".  I definitely recommend them for the summer or hot climates, but I'm not sure they'd withstand rain that well if caught in a thunderstorm.

This shoe is very comfortable but not for super long walks. I love the gum sole and the color scheme is hard to find, brown and pink. The suede is very soft and seems to be durable.

These flip-flops are comfortable with soft soles and a good fit and stylish straps. I ended up returning them as I was after a more solid pair for my long walk to work and back in the summer but they'd be perfect for a normal occasional level of wear.

I have worn these for hours and they remain very comfortable. They are not tight, and yet not too loose.  If you aren't used to the walking shoe heel which curves upward, it may take a bit of acclimation, but not long.  Once you are used to them, they will help with walking energy.

Really Cute, but not terribly comfortable or substantial for outdoor wear

These shoes are very comfortable, especially if you are picking up infants and toddlers and carrying them up and down stairs all day. My only reason for giving them 4 starts is that if you are wearing them for a TON of walking around, your feet get a bit sore because they don't have as much cushion as an athletic shoe. However, no blisters and the fit is snug so they don't slide around on your foot. I will most likely get another pair when I wear these out.

These are great "backup" shoes if you like to wear heels (or other uncomfortable shoes) out but need to do a significant amount of walking. I actually used them as lightweight travel shoes for walking around Europe (I'd wear them every few days, not as my SOLE pair *rimshot*). Since the soles are so thin, I did get shoe inserts (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S6GBI6) and cut them to fit, so they were quite a bit more comfortable to walk around in. Even with the inserts, I could still feel things like cobblestone streets very well, but such is the side effect of tiny soleless shoes like these. The elastic on one of them did break after not that many wears, so while that one shoe is still usable, it is prone to slipping off. So, not bad, but should be used for their intended purpose - as a backup, not a main shoe.

These shoes are cute, comfortable, but ultimately not as great as I expected them to be. I can probably walk about a mile without them starting to rub. Keep in mind that I have issues with plantar fasciitis so I need a good bit of arch support. I did, however, really like the amount of toe room -- most flats are too pointy and narrow in the toe box for my triangle shaped feet. I brought them along on a trip to Greece recently to wear for nights out and whatnot so I did end up walking in them a good deal. After half a mile to a mile I found myself wanting to exchange them for my hiking boots. They served their purpose and were okay; but again, not the great walking shoes they were advertised as. They also rubbed on my heel.

These are good as moccasins. But they're not great walking shoes. The soles are essentially foam, and while that makes for a nice, light shoe, the support is not great for long walks. For $30, they're worth holding on to. Likely as a winter slipper. But not the walking shoes I was hoping for.

I like these shoes because I can walk in them for short distances. The soles are stiff and smooth but they have a rubbery coating so they are not slippery. The SPD cleats are recessed so I don't stumble over them. They are too stiff for proper walking shoes, so I cannot go far in them, but they are fine for a short walk into a shop or cafe.

Compared to SPD-SL shoes, these are more comfortable, but a little heavier. They are well-made, with quality materials and stitching and I expect them to last a long time.

I can put my foot down with confidence, I don't have to remove my shoes whenever I get off the bike, and I don't stumble around, making strange noises and looking like a dork.

These are fine if you are not doing a great deal of walking.  If you have to walk for long periods of time, your foot many become irritated by the location where the straps are attached to the sold of the shoe.  Your foot is right on top of it and over time it's a bit uncomfortable.  Other than that, no issues.
