Comfortable walking shoes for women that are light, flat and roomy at the front. Every pair here is a Saguaro barefoot shoe with a wide toe box, so your toes aren't squeezed, a zero-drop sole and a thin, flexible sole that bends as you walk. Choose everyday sneakers, easy slip-ons or light trainers, in ladies' sizes from UK3.
Comfortable here means room for your toes, a flat sole and almost no weight
-
A wide toe box: the front of the shoe follows the shape of your foot instead of narrowing to a point.
-
A flat, zero-drop sole: no raised heel, so your heel and toes sit at the same height.
-
A thin, flexible sole: it bends with every step and you can feel the ground.
-
Light: easy to wear all day, and easy to pack for a trip.
One honest note: these aren't soft, cushioned walking shoes. If you're used to thick, padded soles, they'll feel firmer and closer to the ground. Many people wear them for a few hours a day at first; read are barefoot shoes for everyone? before you switch.

Wide feet? Start with the Luck I and Go I
Every Saguaro has a wide toe box, but some are wider than others. At EU 40, the Luck I is 9.9 cm across and the Go I is 9.6 cm, the roomiest women's styles we sell. The Giselle is 9.0 cm. See every style in our wide toe box shoes.
Get the size right: Saguaro runs slightly large
Measure your foot in centimetres and check our size guide, which has a chart for each style. Between sizes? For most styles, take the smaller one. Not sure? WhatsApp us on 075 111 2222 and we'll help you choose.

Walking shoes for women: your questions
What makes a walking shoe comfortable?
It depends on what you like. These walking shoes are comfortable because they're roomy at the toes, flat and light. If you prefer a soft, cushioned sole, they'll feel firmer than you're used to.
Which shoe is best for walking all day?
For all-day wear, try the Luck I for its roomy fit or the Smart II for its light knit upper, and if you can, try a few on in Sandton.
Do you have walking shoes for wide feet?
Yes. The Luck I and Go I are the widest women's styles we sell.
Can I wear these walking shoes to work?
Yes. The Giselle slip-on and the black Luck I are plain enough for many workplaces.
