New Balance sneakers are known for their high-level of comfort they provide and the Men's 847V3 Walking Shoe is no exception.

Proudly made in the USA, New Balance 847V3 Walking Shoes provide a balance of comfort, stability and style. Constructed of a synthetic and textile blend, the shoes offer breathability for all day wear.

However, the drawback to the breathable upper is that it’s not as durable as other materials such as leather. The inner lining seems especially prone to quick wear, which is something to keep in mind prior to purchase.

Longevity issues aside, the New Balance 847V3 features advanced cushioning, impact absorption and stability features. First, they’ve combined a PU insert with a Strobel board for style and comfort. A full-length ABZORB ultra-responsive midsole allows the shoe to absorb impact, while the rubber sole provides exceptional grip and stability.

Whether you should choose the New Balance 847V3 is a bit of a tradeoff in terms of features. If you’d like long-lasting, durable shoes that will stay with you for years, you’re better suited for leather walkers. However, if comfort, style, and stability trump durability, the New Balance 847V3 walking shoe may be your perfect match.

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast who finds themselves primarily doing nature walks, your best choice of a walking shoe may be one designed for mixed terrain and rocky trails.

Merrell offers a men’s Jungle Moc slip on shoe that’s designed with all your outdoor endeavors in mind. From the M-Select Grip rubber sole for high slip resistance on both wet and dry ground to the water-resistant leather upper, this shoe truly works for all type of adventures.

However, don’t mistake “all type of adventures” with “indoor friendly”, because you will soon find the Merrell Jungle Mocs were not designed with the city dweller in mind.

For short trips into town the Jungle Moc will work accordingly. So if your biggest shopping plans include ducking into a convenience store for a bottle of water, you'll be fine. But working long shifts in a building is out of the question due to the risk of falls, while walking on wet, slippery floors is practically a death sentence!

Bottom line is, you'll really want to assess your needs prior to selecting the Merrell Jungle Moc. However, if your intended purposes for walking include outdoor trails or hiking, you'd be hard pressed to find a better shoe for your active lifestlye than the Merrell Jungle Moc.

If you’d like your walking shoes to provide a combination of softness and support, Skechers Men's Go Max-Athletic Air Mesh Slip on Shoe offers the best of both worlds.

Goga Max technology is the secret behind Skecher’s famous squishy insoles, which simulates a walk through the clouds with every step.

Working in perfect harmony with the softness of Goga Max, the 5Gen sole provides an injection molded compound designed for optimal foot support and impact absorption, and is ideal for both indoor and outdoor walking.

The outer shoe is made from 100% woven mesh textile for lightweight breathability, which prevents the dreaded “sweaty feet” feeling. However, the drawback to the woven mesh outer is that it doesn’t provide any elasticity or “give.” Therefore, if you have a wider foot you might want to skip these shoes as you could experience difficulty sliding them onto your feet.

However, for those with narrow or average foot width, the Skechers provide an ideal balance of softness, support, and breathability, making them a perfect all-around walking shoe.

If comfort and durability are both equally important to you, you’d be hard pressed to find a better combination walking shoe than the Ugg Men's Feli Hyperweave Sneaker.

With an upper blend of soft cotton and springy nylon , the Feli Hyperweave combines durability with breathability while the EnerG comfort system provides built-in arch support. The Feli also allows for lightweight, flexibility and its single layer construction allows the shoe to more easily adjust to your movements.

And, while they can’t be considered true waterproof shoes, the Feli is great for those in humid, sweaty climates as its leather-lined, open-cell foam insole is breathable, moisture-wicking and anti-microbial.

For stability and grip, the Feli features a Treadlite by UGG outsole which provides the ultimate in cushioning and traction, along with the durability you’d expect from the Ugg brand. The Treadlite outsole makes the Feli an ideal choice for slip-proof stability in both wet and dry conditions.

The drawback to these shoes is that they become dirty quite easily and require extensive maintenance and upkeep in order to be kept clean. However, if durability, quality and comfort are your most important elements when selecting a shoe, the maintenance requirements of the Feli Hyperweave are easy to look past in favor of its many positives.

If you’d like a pair of walking shoes that work well for a stroll along the beach, you’ll want to check out the Under Armour Men's Kilchis Sneaker.

Constructed of a highly breathable textile upper, the Under Armour Kilchis Sneaker offers exceptional breathability while the contoured midsole and footbed provide a rapid drainage system.

And, while these shoes are an obvious choice for a trip to the lake or ocean, they’ll also work just as well for those living in rainy climates. The Under Armour Kilchis’ non-marking rubber outsole provides a firm, solid grip while ensuring optimal traction on smooth, wet surfaces.

Another great feature of the Kilchis walking shoe? They don’t have the typical shoelaces which go soggy when wet. Instead, Under Armour has replaced the laces with bungee cords, which better retain their spring and ensure ease of removal, even while the shoe is wet.

For added durability, the Kilchis feature welded synthetic overlays which provide protection against abrasion. However, while the outer shoe has an extra layer of protection, the inner shoe does not, and in fact wears more quickly.

Despite its shortcomings for durability, the Under Armour Kilchis is a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts or those living in rainy or coastal climates due to its exceptional drainage system, traction, and ease of shoe removal when wet.

If you suffer from diabetes or plantar fasciitis, you’ll want to explore Orthofeet's Tacoma Men’s Walking Shoes, which may provide you with much needed comfort and relief.

The Tacoma offers a non-binding fit, protection against painful pressure points, and extra room for toe movement. Featuring a lightweight, ergonomic sole with air cushioning and premium orthotic insoles with anatomical arch support, you can take comfort knowing these advanced benefits will help ease your heel and foot pain.

The Tacoma is also the perfect choice for those with sensitive feet as it features soft, pliable uppers with a seam-free fabric lining, as well as an extra layer of foam padding. Its added therapeutic benefits qualify the Orthofeet Tacoma as Medicare certified and covered under code A5500 of the Diabetic Shoe Bill.

While the Tacoma is a great choice for those with diabetes or plantar fasciitis, thanks to its wide toe box, the Orthofeet is also a smart pick for folks who suffer from bunions or Hammer-Toe.

And while, overall the Orthofeet Tacoma is a shoe lauded for its exceptional comfort, support and non-binding fit, as with any shoe there is an adjustment period. Initially you may experience some stiffness and discomfort as your shoe “breaks in” and adjusts to your foot. Keep in mind it’s only temporary though, and the longer you wear your shoe, the more comfortable it will become.

If you’re in search of a comfortable walking shoe but are on a tight budget, you’ll want to consider the WellUp Men's Walking Shoes.

The WellUp features a knit upper for advanced air circulation to help avoid stuffy, sweaty feet, while a dual-sided webbed pattern in contrasting colors lends visual appeal as an interesting design element.

A slightly undercut heel provides cushioning and advanced shock absorption during long walks, so your feet won’t end up beaten and bruised from a simple stroll around town.

The WellUp also features advanced arch support and, at just one pound, is ultra-lightweight making it the ideal footwear for everyday wear. But while its lightness and flexibility lends to the WellUp’s comfort, it also poses a negative, since the shoe isn’t highly durable and will wear out quickly.

The bottom of the WellUp features a patterned sole for increased grip and anti-skid protection. However, while it may be touted as slip-proof, the WellUp should not be relied on for advanced slip protection such as working long shifts, rock climbing or hiking mixed terrain. These are value priced shoes, after all, and as such should be used accordingly.

If you’re looking for a shoe that scores high marks for durability, lean towards one that’s constructed with a leather upper. Reebok offers their Men's Ridgerider 4.0 Leather Walking Shoe, which is available in a choice of three colors.

The Ridgerider 4.0 is made with a leather upper for style and durability while a cushioned, synthetic sole provides much needed comfort and support.

This shoe takes fashion and reliability a step further by offering an EVA midsole for responsive cushioning and a patterned rubber outsole, which provides dependable traction on all types of surfaces.

As is the case with other brands of leather shoes, plan for the necessary time it takes to break them in. Leather needs a chance to soften up and mold towards the contours of your foot, and initially you may experience stiffness, discomfort and blisters from walking great distances. Therefore, it’s not recommended to sport the Men’s Ridgerider 4.0’s on a trip backpacking across the country — at least not until they’re fully broken in!

If you have an arch which often gives you pronation issues – collapsing too slowly or quickly upon impact, you’re said to supinate or overpronate. While these terms may sound confusing, they’re really quite simple.

To supinate means your arch collapses relatively little upon landing and thus won’t absorb much impact, leaving you with bruised, sore feet.

If you’ve got highly collapsing arches your foot overpronates, which while doing an excellent job of absorbing impact, can also lead you susceptible to a rolled ankle or other injury.

With pronation, the goal is to be somewhere in the middle which is the driving force behind the Saucony Men's Grid Omni Walker Walking Shoe, with its compression molded EVA midsole that boasts a higher durometer to slow the rate of pronation.

While designed as a walking shoe, the Saucony Grid Omni has all the same benefits of a running shoe including high levels of cushioning, support and stability, including a rear foot grid system, forefoot high-rebound compound and mid-foot support bridge.

While the overall shoe is well-made and durable, the heel area is the exception and finds itself particularly prone to wear and tear.

For unsurpassed fit and style, you can count on the Saucony Grid Omni to be a perfect choice as both an athletic and as a comfy, everyday shoe.
