Cole Haan Men's Zerogrand All-Day Trainer

Product Information

This white leather pair is defined by its metallic gold and silver accents – oh and that signature 'A' appliqué. However, for the 13th version of the shoe, New Balance has once again tweaked the formula for its midsole cushioning. Molly Sunderlin, a local tester who slightly underpronates and runs with a midfoot strike, told us that the rocker worked well with her running mechanics, saying her stride felt “easy and efficient. Even better: The EVA foam in the midsole is so soft but supportive that it almost feels like you’re getting away with wearing your favorite pair of slippers outside of the house.

Also, a lot of food industry professionals want the option of removing their footwear quickly in case of an unfortunate oil spill.You can also talk to a physical therapist about stretching and strengthening exercises to relieve foot pain. Overall, though, I really enjoyed wearing this model, and if you’re looking for a speedy walking shoe that’ll help you get your steps in, the Go Walk Speed Walker is definitely worth a try.

The Boost is made of expanded Polyurethane, so it is resistant to temperature changes (in freezing winters, for example).I also tried on samples of various walking shoes and tested them on easy hiking trails, power walks through my neighborhood (often with kids and dogs in tow), and plodding up and down stairs at home. The engineered mesh upper offers good breathability, and an external heel clip keeps your foot aligned in the shoe for a comfortable, supportive fit. Maintenance-friendly design: Some jobs that require standing all day happen to be in the food-service industry, and the shoe is likely to come in contact with spilled liquids and such.

Merrell's aim for its brand-new Speed Eco is to create a sustainably produced hiking shoe that still delivers on performance. Salewa’s climbing lacing system enables a secure, supportive fit throughout, with fine adjustment in the toe area for extra precision when required.

We first heard of these comfy slip-ons from nurses, who rave about their lightweight, responsive cushioning. And, this generation of Salomon’s Energy Foam midsole is slightly softer, so it’s more forgiving for runners who don’t like to feel any hard ground through their shoes. The spaced-out lugs are tacky without being too aggressive on hardpacked dirt or the patches of pavement that you sometimes have to cross. As with its predecessors, the Moab Speed and Speed Strike, they’re lightweight but well cushioned throughout, with a grippy outsole and good durability.
