Best Walking Shoes For Teens
With spring break, graduation and summer travel coming up, teens and moms will also want to make sure to pack the best walking shoes for the trip! If you are looking for shoes that are as cute as they are comfortable, check out these lightweight walking shoes I found (that don’t look like walking shoes)!
Arcopedico’s most popular style, the LS, is lovingly known as “Shocks,” because they are practical like shoes and comfortable like socks! Available in a rainbow of colors.
Walking is literally one of my favorite ways to stay active, in shape and relax. Every time I travel, I always make sure I head to a city where walking is part of the experience. If I can find a shoe that goes with everything AND feels like walking on a cloud, I’m on board. My feet are finicky and wide, so it’s always been a struggle to find the perfect shoe–like, even when I was a teenager. So when I found these, I was up for the challenge!
I chose the Black in the LS shoe because, well, it goes with everything in my wardrobe. I wasn’t sure what to think about the knit fabric but once I put my foot in and stood up? “Holy cow! these are comfortable!” I immediately felt like throwing my Nikes away. I wish I had known about these sooner. They would have definitely been my ride-or-dies on my trips through Europe.
What I love about this particular Arcopédico style is that it’s washable and packs nicely for travel. They are super lightweight and the knit fabric stretches to accommodate my wide feet. 😉 It feels kind of like wearing a sock with a really supportive sole.
Finding comfortable walking shoes is definitely important as you get older, but it’s not something you really think about when you’re younger. I mean, nobody really stresses the emphasis of comfortable walking shoes for teens, right? But teens spend a LOT of time on their feet; in their jobs, long days at Disney or Universal Studios (hello!) and even during those lengthy graduation day ceremonies.
Why Teens Should Wear Comfortable Shoes
With comfort and athleisure playing such an important role in fashion today, I think it’s important for teens to find comfy, stylish shoes that will work for long shifts, campus walking, travel days and even off-days.
As a teen, your feet are still growing so it is very important to think about the health of your feet. Please, if you require more foot space, do yourself a favor and wear shoes that won’t squeeze or kill your feet. It’s gross to talk about, but wearing shoes that don’t fit right will lead to issues like corns, bunions, and other deformities that may require surgery to correct. :/
I distinctly remember how much my feet would hurt after spending 8 hours making pizza when I was a teen (Ugh, the memories of smelling like onions and tomato sauce). I honestly wish I had found a stylish and comfortable shoe back in those days!
Comfortable and Eco-Friendly Shoe
Arcopédico’s lightweight, colorful, simple, and ageless designs are versatile for any woman’s wardrobe and lifestyle. The lightweight, anatomically-designed and washable features of the shoes make them especially ideal for travel, working on your feet, or women who suffer from chronic circulation problems, sore feet, or dropping arches. Arcopédico is not only a foot-friendly brand but eco-friendly, certified biodegradable, making these shoes highly sustainable and earth-friendly!
