But beyond its unique (and honestly, chic) aesthetic, I was curious to see if this walking shoe could also hold up to the busy life that New Yorkers lead. How we testedI wore this pair of walking shoes for four weeks to determine how they would hold up in terms of fit, comfort, and performance. My pair required zero break-in time out of the box—a majorly important walking shoe test—and felt incredibly spacious in the toe box but otherwise had a fairly slim fit. The firmer midsole, made from zero-gravity foam, felt way more supportive than most max-cushion walking shoes, but lightweight and responsive. “Muted beige walking shoes sound so geriatric, and I am a youthful over-50!”
