Frequently asked questions

What makes a good walking shoe?

A cushioned, slightly rockered sole, a firm heel counter, arch support and a toe box with room for your toes to spread.

Are walking shoes good for plantar fasciitis?

Many are. Look for firm arch support and heel cushioning; our Plantar Fasciitis Help collection lists our top picks.

Do you carry wide walking shoes?

Yes. Many HOKA, Brooks and New Balance styles come in wide and extra-wide.

Can I get fitted in person?

Yes. Visit our Centerville or Draper, Utah stores; our staff will watch you walk, check your size, width and arch, and help you choose.
