A leather hiking boot that costs about a third of what the premium brands charge, with waterproofing, ankle support and a huge size range. It suits beginners and occasional hikers. Thin cushioning and a warm interior are the compromises that keep the price down.

A double-layered daily trainer from On that feels far more cushioned than its modest measurements suggest, thanks to two rows of hollow pods and a stiff plate underfoot. It suits steady miles and long days on your feet. The firm, controlled ride and the price are what give buyers pause.

Allbirds' lightest everyday sneaker, built around a breathable eucalyptus knit that suits warm weather and sockless wear better than almost anything else. The cushioning stays shallow and the pale sole marks easily, so it works best for short daily walking rather than long distances.

A leather slip-resistant work shoe that looks like a plain sneaker and cushions like a running shoe, with wide and extra-wide fittings that are rare in this category. The trade-offs are a warm, heavy build and a soft toe, so it suits floors rather than sites.

On's most recognisable everyday shoe, updated with a wider opening and a friendlier shape that fixes the entry problem people complained about. It is light, tidy and easy to wear, though the ride is firmer than the name suggests and the hollow sole still collects small stones.

A barefoot shoe that is easier to get along with than most, thanks to a roomy toe box and a slightly friendlier build than Xero's thinnest models. It is a good first step into minimal footwear, though it weighs more than the category usually does and asks your feet to do all the work.

Saucony has built a wide, deeply cushioned shoe aimed as much at walkers as at runners, with raised sidewalls that keep the foot feeling settled. It is an easy, sensible everyday pick. The foam is the older, heavier kind, so it soothes rather than energizes.

Altra's biggest trail shoe pairs a foot-shaped toe box with deep cushioning and a Vibram sole, which is a rare combination for anyone with broad feet who covers long distances off road. The flat platform and the weight are what you have to be sure about first.

A structured walking shoe that holds the foot steady with a firm heel post and comes in a width range almost nobody else matches. It suits people who overpronate or need room for an orthotic. The firm ride and the plain, slightly dated styling are what put buyers off.

A light hiking shoe that trades boot weight for trail-runner comfort while keeping serious grip. It suits day hikers and long-distance walkers who want an easy first mile. The roomy forefoot and softer heel hold are the things to try on before you commit.

Brooks has put a modern racing foam into its most familiar shoe, cutting a chunk of weight and adding a sharper push-off. It handles easy runs and faster days in one pair, which the Ghost never really did. The foam is not quite the leap the name implies.

A tall, soft running shoe built to handle easy days, long runs and faster sessions in one pair. It suits neutral runners who log a lot of miles and want plenty of protection underfoot. The high price and the cushioned, low-feedback ride are the two things to weigh before you buy.
