Best Walking Shoes?

Before embarking for my most recent of many frequent trips to the mecca of the street workout movement, the Almighty NYC (I was there for reasons unrelated to fitness), I knew this time I'd be doing a ton more walking than usual. I had a mission to explore as many neighborhoods as I possibly could.

So, what does this mean? My footwear HAD to be up to par and stylish to boot (NYC is also the fashion mecca after all). What to wear? One of the many colorways in my arsenal of trusty Air Max 90s? Perhaps something out of my Vans collection? NOPE.

And my feet thanked me for it. Of the miles and miles I trekked across this gargantuan, sometimes unforgiving City, my feet were never sore for a single second. I can safely say that I'm completely sold on Chucks now. What makes them the ideal walking shoe is the fact that they are completely flat, without the flawed logic that "arch support" is necessary for foot stability.

So, the next time you have to do long hikes around the City, and still want to look fresh ta def, give those old Converse a try!
