Things You Might Like To Know

If you can’t find the answer you’re looking, don’t worry—we’re here to help. Whether you have questions about sizing, fabrics, shipping, or anything else, feel free to reach out to our team. Your satisfaction is our top priority.

What are the most comfortable ladies' walking shoes?

Look for a cushioned, supportive footbed, a flexible, grippy sole and a secure fastening. Popular brands we stock for walking include Hoka, ECCO, Brooks and Rieker.

What's the difference between a walking boot and a hiking boot?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Walking boots are usually lighter and more flexible, for paths and trails, while hiking boots tend to be sturdier, with stiffer soles and more ankle support for rough or mountainous ground.

What are trail running shoes good for?

Trail running shoes are built for off-road running on paths, mud and uneven ground, with a grippier lugged sole, a tougher upper and often a protective toe bumper. Many people also wear them for walking.

Which HOKA is best for running?

It depends on your stride:

Clifton – Great for neutral runners who want light, cushioned support.

Bondi – Ideal for long runs and recovery days thanks to its plush feel.

Arahi – Best if you need stability to help prevent overpronation.

Speedgoat – Perfect for trail runners looking for grip and protection.

Are HOKA shoes good for plantar fasciitis or foot pain?

Many HOKA models carry the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance, and HOKA designs its shoes with thick cushioning and a rocker sole to reduce pressure on the heel and arch. The Bondi and Arahi are popular choices for all-day comfort. If you have ongoing foot pain, it's worth getting advice from a podiatrist.
