Sunderlin also noted that, even though the fit was a little too roomy, the shoe still felt stable and secure. Underfoot, the partially recycled foam midsole and Vibram Litebase outsole are protective and well cushioned, well suited to long days of walking. I was a waitress in college, and my Danskos held me up on days when I worked a double,” says Kristen Geil, Shape senior commerce editor.The latest iteration comes with upgraded traction for better grip, plus a softer tongue and heel collar to avoid any skin irritation around the ankle. If you’re after influencer-worthy style, New Balance is one of the most coveted labels for Dad-style trainers, as is Axel Arigato, while the re-surged Adidas Sambas remain highly sought after and repeatedly sell out. No longer reserved for gym bunnies and workout fiends, we've selected styles that are more trend-led than sports-appropriate – ones that we've seen everyone in the know (from ‘it’ girls to stylists, editors and influencers) donning. However, forefooters in need of substantial underfoot cushioning might need to explore other options, as we measured a forefoot stack of 6.

The latest and most innovative product from Cole Haan, the ZerøGrand all-day trainer delivers with functional features that empower the 23 hours you are working and exploring, and the 1 hour you are running and training in the gym.Trail shoes with lugged outsoles, which have small protrusions that dig into soft ground, will help you get better traction on dirt and rocks. Aetrex shoes are designed to provide maximum arch support and promote proper joint alignment, and they come in a variety of styles for men and women. Sure, a 7mm reduction in stack height makes the shoe more stable, but it also results in a shoe that’s just less bouncy.

Aside from investing in a comfortable pair of shoes, the best way to stop foot pain from standing all day is by improving your posture and investing in supportive orthotics or insoles. Shoes in this brand are not only sustainable, but they're also extremely comfortable," says Perkins.It offers a thick wedge of midsole foam, so you get plenty of cushioning, but the main highlight is the footbed: Aetrex’s unique removable insole places the “peak” of the arch support farther back than other brands’ footbed designs (it’s in line with your ankle rather than the middle of your foot). The removable insole creates a soft step-in feel and offers good arch support, and the combo of a HyperBurst midsole and an embedded plate at the forefoot creates a springy sensation in each step.

In addition to running hundreds of miles in each test model, we measure shoes in our lab and cut them apart to see how they’re constructed. Together with its soft textile lining, removable foam insole, contoured midsole, and padded tongue, you're given the perfect amount of stability, cushioning, and support for every stride. For days where you like to take it easy, you can rely on daily running shoes to keep your feet pampered from lace-up to the last mile.

So a mesh upper won’t cut it, but rather fully covered leather uppers that are easier to wipe clean. If you’re going long distances, some extra cushioning might be a better option, as it provides impact absorption. In this guide, we’re looking at the best shoes for everyday wear on pavement: The kind of shoes most of us put on when we aren’t thinking about what shoes to wear. Although it’s subtle, we found that the curve felt especially good while walking all day, since it helped to propel us forward easily with each step. Now adjusted to a slightly lower durometer—a measure of hardness—the bottom EVA-based layer feels a smidge more forgiving than the v12.
