FOR a long time, shoes, especially those made for women, are not made for walking. They were make for looking good. Dress shoes have wooden outsoles and wearing women's high heels feels like walking on stilts.
The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the popularity of athleisure and super-comfortable clothes and shoes.
These days, products need to be utilitarian, clothes have to be comfortable and shoes must be wearable everywhere.
Skechers is my go-to for comfortable shoes. You'd be hard-pressed to find an uncomfortable pair, especially for walking.
For the recent launch of its latest shoes, the brand introduces a podiatrist-certified line for an athleisure look, complete with arch support and, of course, on-point for the on-the-go lifestyle.
The Skechers Go Walk Arch Fit features classic walking shoes that provide support and comfort with Arch Fit technology that suits both men and women.
Suitable for people in search of support in their walking shoes, they have a removable podiatrist-designed insole that cups the heel while supporting the arch.
The removable insole moulds to your foot to reduce shock and increase weight dispersion while evenly distributing pressure under the midfoot, reducing discomfort during walking.
Whether your long walks always end with cramped arches or you want to ensure your feet are properly supported throughout your daily routine, the additional arch support is important.
The range features a Stretch Fit slip-on design for sock-like comfort, with breathable ribbed knit mesh upper to keep the fresh.
