Best Overall: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

Pro

• Four width options
• Very supportive
• Designed for overpronation
• APMA accepted

Disadvantages

• Some Brooks reviewers noticed early signs of wear

We have recommended the Brooks Adrenaline 23 GTS so many (many, many) times. It’s a supportive sneaker for people who have flat feet or deal with overpronation (meaning your feet roll inward when you walk); it is available in four widths; it has a shock-absorbing gait; and it served one seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), which is awarded to shoes that are genuinely good for your feet.

SELF’s director of fitness and food calls this her “workhorse” shoe of choice: “I love its light, moderate cushioning that’s comfortable without being too much,” she says, noting that the Adrenaline GTS 23 helped her increase their mileage on everyday runs. “They’re also great when you’re going to be walking around a lot,” she adds. “They give your feet the support and ‘guidance’ you need.”

Best budget: Ryka Devotion X

Pro

• Under $115
• APMA accepted
• Lightweight
• Flexible yet supportive

Disadvantages

• Slightly low damping

“This is the rare walking shoe that hugs and supports my narrow, almost completely flat feet,” says SELF’s senior trade writer. “The midsole feels really springy and flexible, while the arch support is solid and sturdy.” Ryka designed the Devotion X specifically for walking passso it has extra padding under the heel and forefoot to absorb the impact of your steps. We should note that it’s not a max-cushioning shoe, but our writer says it feels supple and light on her foot, rather than plush and chunky.

Best for wide feet: Ryka Devotion X Max

Pro

• Roomy fit
• Thick, well-cushioned midsole
• APMA accepted

Disadvantages

About max attenuation is a priority for you, consider Ryka’s Devotion X Max instead. It has plenty of cloud-like padding that still feels light and a roomy interior that should fit a range of feet.

“These are by far the softest and most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn—it’s like walking on air,” says SELF’s senior business editor. “Also, I have wide feet, and the medium width fits me perfectly, with plenty of room in the toe box. Nice and roomy!” IN her review of Devotion X Maxshe noted that it kept her feet cool on long summer walks and still looked good after months of wear.

Best for flat feet: New Balance 1540v3

Pro

• Five width options
• Padded inside
• APMA accepted

Disadvantages

Designed to prevent your feet from rolling in, this structured New Balance walking sneaker is perfect for people with flat feet (as well as fans of dad shoes). The rear foot has a molded plate that holds your heel in place, so your foot stays properly aligned as you walk. The shoe is also about as soft as it is supportive: the midsole has a layer of lightweight ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, and the opening and tongue of the shoe are lined with soft padding, so you feel comfortable from the moment you put them on .

Best for High Arches: Vionic Walk Strider Sneaker

Pro

• Designed to correct overpronation
• APMA accepted

Disadvantages

• The break-in period can take up to two weeks, per brand
