More Walking Info

What to look for in a good walking shoe:

• A shoe that is lightweight and flexible
• A non-skid, resilient sole – thick enough to protect the foot
• A firm heel cup and laces or Velcro straps that can be adjusted to prevent the foot from sliding around the shoe
• If you are active, look for shoes with extra cushioning and shock absorption
• For older adults, look for shoe which provide stability and support for your feet
