In 2020, walking became the dominant form of exercise as gyms closed during the pandemic, and according to SIFA<\/a>, 56% of those walkers identified as women. Secondly, there are some big mistakes shoppers make when purchasing walking shoes<\/a>, like purchasing the wrong shoe size. Before you head out the door to embark on your walk of the day, it’s important to ensure you are wearing comfortable women’s shoes<\/a> that promote proper foot health.
