subject: Tips For Comfortable Walking Shoes For Men Of All Ages [print this page]


Lets face it you are probably going to be quite tough on your walking shoes, covering long distances, so it's really important they are made from long-lasting materials. The second major factor to look out for is of course the comfort factor - so ask yourself the following questions; Are the shoes well made?

Will the shoe allow enough room for your feet to expand? Do they include gel cushioning or padding to help maximise comfort? If the answer to all three of the above questions is yes, then you are probably on the right track but there are still more important factors to consider when purchasing a pair of comfortable walking shoes for men.

Will you be crossing tricky terrain where hazardous items could puncture the soles for your shoes? If you are then you'll need a pair of safety shoes with anti-sole penetration prevention too, to help prevent nasty injuries that can be cause by sharp items puncturing the sole from underneath. What kind of care you are prepared to give your shoes may dictate the material they are made from. If you are looking for an easy care pair of shoes then it's better to go for walking shoes made from micro fiber rather than leather, since micro fiber shoes can be thrown in the washing machine on a cool heat.

Leather walking shoes may give a classic look but they can be much harder to care for, and scuff marks and stains can spoil the look of your shoes, so if you are going for leather then look for leather that has been specially treated with an oil and chemical resistant coating. You may also want to consider the ethical factor too when choosing the material your walking shoes are made from, shoes made from micro fiber are suitable for vegans, whereas leather ones obviously won't be suitable. A great multi-purpose walking shoe for men that comes with Vegan Society approval and is suitable for a variety of ground is the All Terrain Pro, a stylish and durable affordable ankle boot that offers a multitude of useful features for walkers.

The boot itself is constructed using Schoeller coldblack fabric which means the fabric of the shoe will stay cool to the touch even when the mercury rises - ideal for staying cool in hot outdoor conditions. That all important anti-sole penetration is offered too, along with gel padding to support knees, hips, and feet, and absorb shock, and an adaptable Town and Country tread slip resistant sole. Do look for shoes with a durable sole like this as remember in a walking shoe durability is really key, you really don't want a sole that's going to wear away quickly, or not be able to adapt to a variety of terrain.

And lastly a word about laces, make sure yours are durable and won't snap, inconvenient at best when you are traipsing around but can even be downright dangerous if they break suddenly.

Keep this list of handy pointers to look for to hand next time you go out shopping for walking shoes for men, and you are sure to make a much wiser, more informed decision now you know the important things to look out for.
