We love these for both running and walking. They provide gentle, lightweight support, and the American Podiatric Medical Association agrees — the organization has given the Cliftons its coveted Seal of Acceptance. They have Yahoo’s stamp of approval too: We named them the best walking shoes for women. “They’re absolutely cloud-like,” raved Deputy Editor Izabella Zaydenberg. “They were the only shoes that didn’t exacerbate my plantar fasciitis (especially when I walked for hours at Disneyland).”
I own a pair of Cliftons, and I wear them every time I go for long walks, whether on a treadmill, on a trail or around town. They’re the most comfortable walking shoes I’ve ever worn and needed zero break-in time. They’re lightweight and breathable, and the rubber sole provides great traction. Score this bright green pair at a solid Presidents’ Day discount.
