Although this section says running shoes, this is exclusively a walking shoe. The Asics Gel Tech Neo Walking shoe has been a top rated shoe in a number of magazines including Consumer Reports. People who own this shoe will tell you it is the best walking shoe.

Unlike many walking shoes, this one is not a cross trainer or running shoe in addition to being a walking shoe. It’s a walking shoe exclusively and doesn’t try to be anything else.

This shoe continues to be a top performer and is typically a good choice for athletes who need either neutral or stability shoes. Those who need stability will appreciate the impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) that enhances gait, and other core features of the asics brand in both running and walking shoes such as the DuoMax® Support System which offers great cushion.

As with all asics brands, the construction is top quality. It’s lightweight, good cushioning. Good arch support and nice size toe box. They fit well and are very comfortable but be advised that you may need to order one half size up.
