Good footwear is essential for walking whether its on the trails, indoors, or on pavement. If you’re wanting to start a walking program and not sure which shoe works best for walking, Fitness Magazine has put out its 2009 Sneaker Guide to The Best Walking Shoes. The winners are:
Best Road Walking Shoe: Asics GEL-Fluent LV
This flowery, well-cushioned shoe adds a spring to your step. Plus, its supportive heel and flexible outsole point your foot in the right direction as you stride, helping to prevent injury. (US$85 at http://www.asics.com)

This hiker has a roomy toe box, giving you extra space to stabilize on uneven trails, and an upper made of both durable leather and breathable mesh to prevent overheating. (US$100 at keenfootwear.com)
