There’s really nothing better than a leisurely stroll through the park with some of your best friends. Taking off on a Saturday afternoon to just enjoy each other’s company and the nice weather is one of the small pleasures in life, but what if you have the wrong shoes? An uncomfortable pair of walking shoes can throw a wrench in even the most relaxing day.

Although some may think that running and walking shoes are interchangeable, there are some subtle differences that you should keep in mind. For starters, look for a pair that has a flexible sole since the heel hits first. Additionally, a lightweight pair is crucial for a low-key amble, as the last thing you want is to be lugging around a heavy pair. Rack Room Shoes carries a wide selection of both functional and fashionable walking shoes that will put a spring in your step.

The New Balance 494 is a great choice for even the choosiest women. Comfort and support is not a problem thanks to its lightweight design, and it is specially designed to stabilized the foot and provide cushioning.
