Las 7 Mejores Zapatillas Para Caminar De Mujer del 2024

Our walks with the Nike Motiva were one of a kind with its silky smooth transitions, plush sensation, and wide base. Our lab assessments confirm its stability for walking because its exaggerated rocker encourages forward steps, making it our best women’s walking shoe. Motiva is a powerful motivator for movement while offering exceptional comfort.

We found it hard to stay still because the shoe’s prominent design would bring us from our heels to our toes. Motiva maintains a needed level of stiffness to maintain its rocker shape, and any attempts to twist it came to no avail, which is why we gave it a 5/5 torsional rigidity score.

Motiva is generously cushioned, with caliper measurements of 34.9/25.6 mm. It feels cloudlike on foot, evidenced by its 15.0 HA durometer reading, 42.5% softer than average. The platform’s wavy sole also enhances compression, which makes the shoe even more comfortable. We found it highly suitable for women who run errands because it feels great even during long hours on foot.

Motiva features an accommodating platform for wide or swollen feet. At 116.0/96.6 mm, it’s wider than average, which naturally gives a well-planted feeling.

However, the midsole’s plush nature causes the foam to crease almost instantly. While this is only an aesthetic issue, it may be disappointing for some women.

We found ourselves constantly reaching for the Allbirds Tree Runners in our daily walks because it felt like home. Our lab tests confirm its low weight is packed with high-quality materials, with a versatile look and presence that feels effortless. The cozy sensation it brings makes it our top comfortable women’s walking shoe.

The upper is made of thermoregulating and odor-reducing materials such as the eucalyptus fiber, which lets our body heat escape. The merino wool inside the shoe feels gentle to the touch and boosts comfort to the next level with its moisture-wicking properties.

The Tree Runners has a simple personality, with its minimalist aesthetic easy to style, and its flexible build easy to maneuver. Our bend test confirms it’s 39.9% more adaptive than average, which increases its weightless feel.

Speaking of weightless, our scales confirm it’s truly feathery at 9.0 oz (254g), 10.2% lighter than average. This shoe feels like a breath of fresh air. It's very versatile for other activities and highly suitable for multi-tasking women who want a fuss-free experience.

However, women who need extra arch support for overpronation and other foot conditions should find a more stable shoe. Tree Runner’s focus on flexibility will not suit their needs.

We found the Hoka Transport highly suitable for busy and on-the-go women because it feels nice and steady in our walks. It’s easy to forget about the shoe and focus on our tasks at hand because we feel secure and well-protected, which is why it’s our top women’s walking shoe for standing all day. Our lab tests show it even has a durable outsole to boast!

The planted sensation of the Transport stems from its broad base and stiff construction. Our caliper measured it to be a wider-than-average 112.8/92.5 mm. This extra width gives us more room to find our footing securely and allows space for our feet to swell. It also doesn’t give in to twists easily and pushes us forward through its rocker geometry.

The cushioning feels delightful and supportive, giving women the comfort they need for errands, work, or commute. With 34.1/26.1 mm of foam beneath our feet, we have more impact protection than the 32.1/21.6 mm average. It’s very gentle to the touch, evidenced by its 21.9 HA durometer reading.

Meanwhile, the outsole features the reliable Vibram rubber. Checking further in the lab, we found it harder (81.9 HC) and thicker (3.7 mm) than average, cementing its capability of being a daily beaters.

However, it’s not a very breathable shoe so we cannot recommend this to women in hot climates.

Our feet truly loved our walks with the Skechers Arch Fit 2.0. As we can tell from its name, it gives the most amazing arch support among women’s walking shoes that allow us to be on foot for hours on end. Our lab agrees it’s highly supportive even for those with overpronation or other foot conditions because of its cushioned yet stable base.

Arch Fit 2.0 isn’t one of those cloudlike shoes but it feels comfortable because of the amount of foam beneath our feet. Currently, it has the tallest stack height we’ve measured in the lab at 39.2/24.0 mm. This results in a steep 15.2 mm drop that feels supportive because there's less strain on our ankles and Achilles—great for women with lower leg or foot issues.

The cushion is 16.5% firmer than average as per our durometer. On foot, it feels pleasantly comfy and highly stable. It doesn’t collapse under heavy weight and allows us to stay balanced. The wide 114.5/90.0 mm base also contributes to a securely planted feeling.

What’s amazing is how we enjoyed all-day support for only €100! However, we don’t expect this shoe to last long because of its disappointing performance in our Dremel test across the board. Women seeking a long-lasting pair should invest in more premium walking shoes.

The On Cloud 5 satisfied our wanderlust hearts as we freely explored new places with its weightless and forgiving ride. Our lab tests validate our sentiments by proving it’s a light, flexible, and stable shoe, making it highly versatile for various activities. It feels supportive without the burden of extra pounds, making it our best travel walking shoe for women.

The Cloud 5 feels like a cloud with its airy weight, perfect for female backpackers who want to travel light. Our scales reveal it’s only 7.9 oz (225g), 20.5% lighter than the average walking shoe.

It has large grooves in the outsole that improve its flexibility. Bending our feet during walks feels effortless, adding to its weightlessness. Our bend test confirms it takes only 19.8N force for the midsole to reach a right angle.

A great travel shoe requires exceptional support and the Cloud 5 delivers that through its firm and grounded base. Our durometer shows it’s only 9.2% firmer than average, enhancing our surefootedness. Meanwhile, the stack height is below average at 27.6/20.7 mm, giving us heightened surface feel.

However, the toebox feels snug and may feel even tighter when the feet swell. At 89.5 mm in the widest part, it’s our narrowest measurement in the lab for walking shoes. Therefore, we can’t recommend Cloud 5 to women with broad or square feet.

We discovered Hoka Bondi SR’s strong bite on wet floors during our walks, making it our best slip-resistant walking shoe for women. Our lab tests reveal it has a cushioned yet surefooted base, perfect for standing all day. Whether walking through snow or dealing with wet kitchen tiles at work, Bondi SR kept us safe and confident.

We couldn’t wait to countercheck in the lab the tacky grip we experienced. Our durometer shows the rubber is softer than average at 73.1 HC, which usually means better traction based on our tests. The shoe also has a massive base to keep us surefooted, and therefore, more outsole rubber with ground contact. Our caliper shows it’s one of the widest we’ve seen at 124.1/102.2 mm. 

The shoe also feels stiff to maintain its rocker shape, perfect for women who enjoy smooth transitions. It felt impossible for our ankles to collapse because we couldn’t twist the shoe, earning the highest 5/5 torsional rigidity.

Comfort is evident in the shoe’s tall 39.4/31.2 mm stack height. Impact protection is undeniable with its bottomless cushioning with its plushness further elevated by the 20.4 HA foam, 21.8% softer than average per our durometer.

Usually, soft rubber means less durability. Unfortunately, that’s the case for Bondi SR as our Dremel wreaked havoc on the outsole. Women who need hard-wearing outsoles should check alternatives.

The KEEN WK400 offers a refreshing ride with its unique construction, uber-smooth transitions, and ergonomic set-up. Our lab results show never-before-seen figures, just like the midsole’s shape. We found it hard to stay still in its springy cushion that encourages forward movement, offering the best rocker experience among women’s walking shoes.

The KEEN.CURVE is the rounded bottom sole that acts like a rocking chair, effortlessly bringing us from our heels to our toes. This setup is perfect for women who want to wear and forget the shoe as it’s easy to stroll mindlessly. We discovered a rigid full-length nylon plate in the midsole that retains its peculiar geometry. In our bend test, our expectations were reached when it emerged 61.6% stiffer than average.

Eager to measure the midsole, we discovered the heel is a massive 45.7 mm! Paired with a modest forefoot, the resulting drop is an insane 21.4 mm vs. the 10.5 mm average. This steep incline puts less pressure on our lower leg muscles, making it a great recovery shoe.

WK400’s comfort is undeniable and our durometer proves this with a soft 22.0 HA reading. We felt highly supported for long hours of walking, especially since it felt springy. However, we can’t recommend it for standing all day since it pushes us forward. Women who stay still on foot for work or other tasks should find alternatives.
