This series from New Balance has been a favorite for cushioning and stability among walkers polled. They cite comfort and flexibility, making it the shoe they buy again and again.

The Guide is flatter than most walking/running shoes, with an 8 mm heel drop, while still providing stability and cushioning. Flatter shoes are better for achieving a good heel plant and roll through your step with a powerful walking stride. The Guide is also lighter in weight than many stability shoes. It comes in both medium and wide widths.

The New Balance 860 is an update to their 760 series. The shoes are lightweight, flat and flexible, perfect for a walking stride. They have a Stride Bar to provide motion control. As with most New Balance shoes, they come in widths for a better fit. I found them to be very comfortable, but are best for people who overpronate and need motion control.
