11 Best Skechers for Walking | 2024 Picks

They’re lightweight, comfy, and easy to slip on as you head out the door—Skechers sneakers are true workhorses of the walking shoe world. They’re expert-approved too: “This is a go-to brand and I think that people should have it in their closet,” Suzanne Levine, DPM, a podiatrist with Millennium Podiatry in New York City, tells SELF.

If you’re new to Skechers (or mainly remember it as the brand behind the D’Lites of the late 2000s), you may be surprised to find that many of its styles are excellent for walking and spending long days on your feet. Some even come with a seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), which is only awarded to footwear that podiatrists consider beneficial for your foot health.
