Although there is no "best" option that applies to everyone, you're going to need a sturdy pair of sneakers to track all those steps. Ballet flats, flip-flops, and other lightweight footwear with little arch support, as well as footwear that is easily bent or twisted, aren't going to do your feet any favors. In terms of breathability, cushioning, and support, today's best walking shoes for women are comparable to those used for running and cross-training; they only come in slightly more relaxed designs. The right fit for your foot, as well as any foot issues you may have, and it looks very stylish.
