As a fitness writer, I’ve reviewed hundreds of pairs of walking shoes over the years, so I know what I’m looking for when I head out for a walk. I want the shoes to be comfortable and supportive for miles on end, without hot spots or blisters, or the need for an extended breaking-in period.
Yet over the past year, a new trend has emerged, and that’s the desire for a lace-free experience. Move over Skechers, there’s more competition than ever before. Often marketed as ‘recovery shoes’, if you find yourself on your feet for most of the day, or you're heading out for a long walk and don’t want to bend down and tie your laces, these shoes tick all the right boxes.
