Support

Any shoes built-in arch support should match the shape of your foot.

If you notice pressure or pain in your midfoot, the shoes arch is probably too high.

Ideally, itll feel like the shoe is cradling your foot.

Beyond the shoes upper, it should also have a rubber outsole thats textured, grippy, and stable.

Theyre also great for any time youre going to be walking around a lot, she adds.

They give your feet the support and guidance you need.

The midsole feels really springy and flexible, while the arch support is solid and sturdy.

The Vionic Walk Striders instep, however, is just right.

Theyre super supportive and hug my high arches.

Theyre sleek, modern, and look great on my feet, one tester said.

Ryka Devotion X

I think theyre very classy and perfect for when you want to look more polished.

In true white sneaker fashion, the Time Off goes with pretty much everything.

Its casual vibe wouldnt look out of place at brunch, the park, or the office.

Merrells Moab Speed 2 is our favorite by far.

They were so comfortable and breathable in all environments, our tester said.

My feet felt cushioned and supported, but the shoes were still lightweight and easy to slip on.

The soles have plenty of traction on rain-slick pavement, and the footbeds have molded slightly to my feet.

I have no plans to replace them.
