Oboz rebuilt its popular Katabatic around a lighter GORE-TEX lining, and the result is a quick, sure-footed shoe for muddy and rocky weekends. We explain how the fit runs, where the firm ride helps or hurts and which hikers are better served by a roomier or softer option.
Altra’s new speed shoe strips things back to a thin, completely flat sole and a sock-like knit upper, which is exactly what some runners want for track sessions and short races. It asks a lot of your legs in return. Whether that suits you comes down to how much cushioning you are willing to give up.
A slip-on work sneaker made for hospital shifts, with an upper that wipes clean after spills and a sole built to grip slick floors. Many wearers find it comfortable from day one. The cushioning is only moderate, though, and narrow feet may find the fit a little loose.
A leather extra-depth walking shoe built for feet that need protecting, with a removable layered footbed and room for custom orthotics. It suits people with diabetes, neuropathy or arthritis who want a shoe that will not rub. The weight, the clinical look and the price are what to weigh before you order.
A lighter, softer take on Adidas’s marathon racer that swaps carbon rods for a rim around the sole, leaving more foam under your foot. It is aimed at runners chasing a goal time over a half or full marathon. The trade-offs are a snug, standard-width fit and a race-day lifespan that makes it a poor everyday shoe.
The updated version of one of hiking’s longest-running leather boots, with a fit that molds to your foot over time and stability that shines under a loaded pack. It suits backpackers and hikers with hard-to-fit feet. Firm cushioning and a hefty, old-school feel are what you give up for that durability.
A sneaker-style work shoe for people who stand most of a shift on hard, wet floors, with soft cushioning, a certified slip-resistant sole and an upper that lets spills roll off. It shines at a prep station or bedside. The catch is a warm upper and a plush feel that fast-moving workers may find less stable.
The Ryka Devotion Plus 3 is a women-specific walking shoe with RE-ZORB cushioning, a narrow heel and roomy forefoot. It works best for daily walks and errands, with wide sizes available, but it is not a firm stability shoe.
The Nike Motiva 2 is a cushioned walking shoe with an exaggerated rocker, roomier forefoot and breathable mesh upper. See who it suits and who should skip it.

The Calzuro Classic is an autoclavable, machine-washable work clog for health care and kitchen shifts. See how its fit, grip and firm ride compare.
A women’s work sneaker built around a roomy, toe-shaped front and a firm, arch-hugging footbed, aimed at nurses and anyone on hard floors all day. Its standout strength is real toe room without a sloppy heel. The catch is a structured, firm feel and European sizing that rewards a careful look at the chart.
Ugg’s most weather-ready boot gets thinner, compression-resistant insulation and an ice-focused Vibram sole while keeping its soft lining and polished leather look. It suits cold, icy town winters and long stretches standing outside. The catch is a single standard width and a soft upper that is not made for trails.
