13 Best Walking Trainers for Women: Comfortable & Stylish

Every pair of New Balance shoes I’ve bought has been on repeat in my wardrobe. They make amazing lifestyle walking trainers, along with good options for actual workouts. Stylish, versatile, and comfortable - pretty much everything you’d want in a sneaker. I’m especially loving these new 1906R walking trainers. They look just as good with jeans as they do with leggings or athletic shorts.

I originally bought these for my husband, but they now make them in women's sizing.

• Designed as tennis shoes, but stylish enough for everyday wear.

• It has a thicker sole which gives extra height and extra cushion.

• Grippy rubber outsole keeps you balanced on and off the court. 

I have these Nike trainers and wear them all the time. I walk with them to Pilates, take my dog on long walks, and lift with them at the gym. They’re super cushioned, especially on concrete, and have a nice bounce to them. The only thing is they run a little small, so I’d recommend going up half a size for the best fit. They also come in different colors!

These Alo white trainers are basically an elevated version of the Nike Air Force 1s. The premium full grain leather gives them a more high end look compared to the Air Force 1s. I wore these in Florence and would walk atleast 20,000 steps per day and did not have any foot aches. Not only can they be worn for long distance walking, but I also wore them to the gym during my Europe trip!

I found these Asics GT-2160 trainers from a TikTok recommendation. A woman was raving about how she wears them for her morning 10,000 step walk, and after trying them myself, I get the hype. They’re not just great for long walks. They are a great option for working out too. 

These come in a ton of different colors plus they are 20% off right now on Amazon.

One buyer said, "EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE!! True to size and great for walking!!"

These new On Cloudtilt trainers look insanely comfortable and cushioned. My father in law, who’s a cardiologist and on his feet from 6 AM to 7 PM, swears by them. He rotates between these and his Allbirds Tree Runners, which says a lot. If you need a solid everyday shoe for errands or long walks, these are a great option. 

My On Cloudnova trainers have been my go-to for years. I repurchase at least one pair every 8 months. I even grabbed them in black because they’re just such a good pair to have in my rotation. 

They’re technically not made for running, but I run in them with zero issues. Perfect for walking, weight training, or just running errands. Plus, they look great with everything - leggings, shorts, joggers, trousers, etc.

One verified buyer said, "Most comfortable shoes ever. Very stylish as well, they match everything!"

It took me a bit to justify spending on the APL Zipline Sneakers, but after wearing them for six months, I can honestly say they’re the best walking shoes I’ve owned (and I even run in them without any discomfort).

The platform gives me a flattering lift, making my legs look great (especially being 5'2) while keeping me comfortable on my long walks. My only regret is not buying the black or beige color, as they did get dirty faster than expected. My husband loved how they looked on me so much that he had to get a pair for himself now he’s just as obsessed.

These Hoka trainers are currently 20% off! Pair these with black leggings, a tank top, and ankle socks for a cute athleisure look. Also fun fact, Hokas are considered orthopedic shoes, so they are scientifically and physically very comfortable and good for your feet.

My New Balance 530s are a staple in my wardrobe. I love how I can wear these with wide leg jeans or leggings and looks good with both looks. They are also under $100. 

I wear mine everywhere, from the farmers market to the office and always get compliments. I have them in the burgundy and white colorway, and they’re easily one of my most-worn pairs.

As seen on Ariana Grande and countless other celebs and influencers and for good reason. The Reebok Club C 85 trainers are a solid everyday sneaker that pair well with so many outfits. They have a classic look to them, so they won't go out of style.

One verified purchaser on Amazon said, "I cannot say enough good things about these shoes. I wear them almost daily and they’re still holding up, 2 years later. They already have a slight tint to them so they’re an off white. It makes it easy to wear them and not worry about getting a little bit of dirt on them. I bought these prior to a Vegas trip and I walked the strip for hours and these never once hurt my feet. They’re true to size and sturdy."
