The best men's walking shoes for pavement, trails and everything in between
I walk about four to five miles on an average workday. While I love a stylish pair of loafers, I want my feet to feel comfortable and supported, so I almost always put on a pair of walking shoes. I'm not alone in my thinking, when I take a look around New York City many people are sporting some type of walking shoe. But what makes walking shoes more comfortable than other kinds of shoes? And can my running shoes pull double duty? I spoke with podiatrists to find out, and I got their top-picks for the best walking shoes for men. How I picked the best walking shoes for men I spoke with podiatrists to learn more about what to consider when shopping for the perfect pair of men's walking shoes. To select our top picks, I kept the following advice in mind: Size: Fit is the most important part of any pair of walking shoes, according to our experts. I also included each shoe's sizing and width options. Cushioning: The right amount of cushion depends on personal preference and comfort, according to our experts. However, they did note that more cushioning absorbs shock better. Our top picks range in cushion thickness and weight. Terrain: I included shoes with a variety of outsoles — the grippy material at the very bottom of the shoe (the part that makes contact with the ground). Some outsoles are better suited to indoor or outdoor terrain. Think about where you spent most of your time walking before adding a pair to your cart. Want more from NBC Select?

The best men's walking shoes in 2025 Our recommendations come from a mix of expert and NBC Select staff picks, mostly from shoe brands like Brooks, New Balance, Hoka and On Running. Most of our picks are technically running shoes, but running shoes are generally a great choice for most types of walking, according to our experts. All of our recommendations come in different colors and patterns — browse each retailer to find your favorite style. Staff-pick NBC commerce editor Jordan Bowman is a fan of the On Cloud X series shoe. 'I had what you could best describe as a Cinderella moment when lacing up the X3s for the first time,' says Bowman. The series is comfortable, well-cushioned and stable, says Bowman. The shoe has a molded, firmer heel and a wide platform for your toes, as well as a star-shaped lace pattern at the top of the foot. The upper is made with mesh fabric, which Bowman finds breathable and cooling. The outsole has a mostly smooth but grippy tread, appropriate for paved surfaces. The Brooks Ghost Max are my go-to walking shoes. The brand sent me a pair of the second version in late 2025 to test, and I've been wearing them to work and around town ever since. They are one of the brand's most cushioned shoes, and it feels incredibly comfortable even after all-day strolls. The toebox is very spacious, with enough room for all my toes to rest comfortably, but not float around unsupported. The shoe has a slight rocker shape that helps propel you forward. The outsole is also made of textured, grippy rubber that feels stable on all sorts of flat terrain, in my experience. And with the Brooks Ghost Max 3 launching in August, you can find the Max 2 on sale while supplies last. Expert pick This walking shoe comes recommended by Dr. Miguel Cunha, a board certified foot surgeon and founder of Gotham Footcare. They are lightweight, comfortable and machine washable. Plus, they can easily be worn with or without socks, and feel cozy on hot and cold days, says Cunha. While I did not have the best time running in them (despite the name), they were perfectly comfortable for a few miles around town. The outsole is mostly smooth, with no deep tread to speak of, so these are best for paved surfaces or the treadmill. Budget pick These shoes are lightweight, breathable and durable, making them well-suited to all-day wear, says Cunha. The textured, grippy outsoles add traction and durability, and the shoe is offered in a good range of size and width options. Plus, they are the lowest-priced shoe on our list at around $75. If you're looking for a wide toe-box shoe, Cunha recommends the Hoka Clifton 10. The shoe has a spacious toe-box that accommodates most wide feet and bunions, says Cunha. I've walked and run many miles in the Clifton line — they have a wide, spacious and supportive footbed. The mesh upper is breathable, and the outsole has deeper lugs for added durability and traction in varied terrain. The shoe is also available in medium, wide and extra wide sizing. If you've got miles and miles ahead of you, Cunha recommends the latest Brooks Ghost shoes for extra durability, arch cushioning and shock absorption. I've worn various Ghost shoes over the past five years — they are comfortable, balanced and easy to walk in. The outsole is thick and grippy — I've never felt any uneven traction while wearing them. They also have four different width options. Grippy and durable NBC Select video producer Josh Rios, says he usually wears stylish shoes with little comfort, but that all changed when he tried the New Balance Fresh Foam. The New Balance Fresh Foam series are recommended in our guides to men's and women's running shoes, and this latest version comes in more sizes and width options than the v13s that Rios started with. The shoes have a breathable mesh upper and a lug pattern on the outsole for tackling uneven terrain. 'If I'm doing a ton of walking, I know these shoes will hold me down,' says Rios. 'These sandals are engineered with a meta-rocker sole similar to the bottom of a boat that allows your foot to smoothly roll from heel to toe minimizing shock on your foot, ankle, knees and back,' says Cunha. The slides are, naturally, very breathable, especially if you wear them without socks. They have a wide base and moderate stability and support, according to the brand. Unlike our other recommendations, they are best for recovery and casual use, not miles of walking around town. How to shop for men's walking shoes Walking shoes have more flexible soles that allow for the natural motion of walking, says Cunha. While many of our recommendations are running shoes, they are also a good choice for walking, according to our experts. Running shoes have slightly stiffer soles, and prioritize stability and shock absorption to better support high-impact activities, says Cunha. Regardless of the type of walking shoes you consider, our experts say to keep the following in mind: Consider where you'll be walking If you will mostly be walking outside, look for shoes with a more durable outside and tread patterns, says Cunha. If you plan to walk mostly on a treadmill, look for lightweight shoes with adequate cushioning — treadmills are softer and more uniform than outdoor terrain, says Cunha. Try them on in-person for the best fit Our experts recommend trying on shoes in-person, or even better, get fitted at a store that specializes in running or athletic shoes. Shoe stores usually have specialty tools and an informed staff that can help you identify and consider things like your foot shape, arch type and gait. Some stores can even perform a treadmill analysis of your walk. Cunha recommends shopping in-person later in the day when your feet are a little swollen. 'If your walking shoes are comfortable at the end of the day when your feet are tired and swollen, they most likely will feel good throughout the day,' he says.

29 Actors Who Were Cast At The Very Last Second
Recently, Reddit user ValoNoctis asked about last-minute casting that saved a movie, and I can't believe some of these actors almost didn't play these iconic roles. Here are actors who came in at the eleventh hour and killed it. Director Quentin Tarantino struggled to find the right actor to play Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds. On the podcast The Moment With Brian Koppelman, Tarantino said the movie was already in pre-production, and they hadn't cast the role — which was a problem, as Tarantino had decided to shelve the project for a few years if he couldn't find the perfect actor. "It's Tuesday morning, and by Friday, Universal Pictures sign the check, and now we're making the movie for Universal. And I know if I'm gonna pull the plug, I've gotta pull it before Thursday," he revealed. On Wednesday, Christoph Waltz auditioned, and Tarantino immediately knew he'd found his Landa. Waltz would end up winning an Oscar for his portrayal. Suggested by u/bvmse Gene Wilder wanted the role of Jim in Blazing Saddles, but director Mel Brooks thought he was too young. "I need an older guy — someone who could look like an over-the-hill alcoholic," he told Wilder. He went with Gig Young, who was known to struggle with alcoholism in real life, which Brooks thought would work well with the character. However, on the very first morning of filming, Young was dealing with alcohol withdrawal — which was made worse by the fact that his character was upside-down. "We draped Gig Young's legs over and hung him upside down. And he started to talk and he started shaking." At first, Brooks thought this was just great acting. Suggested by u/hedbopper But..."The shaking never stopped, and green stuff started spewing out of his mouth and nose, and he started screaming." Brooks said he learned his lesson not to cast someone with alcoholism as a character with alcoholism: "I said, 'That's the last time I'll ever cast anybody who really is that person.'" He continued, "Poor Gig Young, it was the first shot on Friday, nine in the morning, and an ambulance came and took him away. I had no movie." Brooks quickly called up Wilder, who flew out the next day to film. They were shooting again on Monday. Wilder ended up being perfect for the role, cementing the movie in comedy history. Another actor who was replaced after filming started? Harvey Keitel in Apocalypse Now. He actually shot for a full week before being recast. The film's director, Francis Ford Coppola, apparently felt he wasn't right for the role, and also that Keitel was uncomfortable filming in the jungle (which Keitel has disputed). Coppola convinced Martin Sheen to take the role instead — he'd originally wanted Sheen for the role, but he was unavailable. Sheen's performance would end up being the most memorable part of the film. Suggested by u/congo66 Joaquin Phoenix was originally cast as the lead in Split, but dropped out only weeks before filming began. James McAvoy stepped in to play the role and said he only had two weeks to prepare. While Phoenix obviously is a talented actor, McAvoy's performance was stellar, garnering critical acclaim — one reviewer called it "the performance of his career." Suggested by u/ralo229 Tim Colceri spent weeks rehearsing for his role as a drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket, with director Stanley Kubrick continuously telling him shooting would begin the next day, then not following through. Eventually, Colceri was given a letter by Kubrick stating he had been recast with R. Lee Ermey. Ermey, a Vietnam War veteran, had been initially hired as a technical consultant on the film. However, he won Kubrick over with an unsolicited audition tape, earning the role over Colceri, who had been cast eight months earlier. Ermey knocked it out of the park, with the scene of him yelling at the recruits — which was half improvised — becoming one of the most memorable parts of the film. Colceri was cast in a smaller role. Suggested by u/Alteredego619 Paul Dano only had about four days to prepare for his role as Eli in There Will Be Blood. He had already been cast as Paul, and Kel O'Neill had been cast as Eli (who was not initially Paul's brother). In fact, O'Neill had already filmed for weeks. However, O'Neill did not work well with the director, Paul Thomas Anderson, so Anderson decided to give Dano the additional role and make the characters twins. "I just went for it, threw myself in there and gave it everything I had," Dano said. "That was just guts and instinct, not a lot of preparation. ... I had to cut loose and go for it," he said. Dano was nominated for a BAFTA for his role as the twins. Suggested by u/MrAldoRayne Director John Carpenter was unsure about casting Kurt Russell as R.J. MacReady in The Thing and only decided on him the day they flew out to film the movie. There's actually a scene where MacReady flies a helicopter that's not even Russell — it's a pilot in the character's costume because they didn't have Russell on hand yet. The film ended up being one of Russell's best roles. Dianna Agron was cast the day before the pilot for Glee began shooting. Producers were actually about to cut her character as they hadn't found someone for the role — and her casting ended up vastly changing how they envisioned the character. Series creator Ryan Murphy said Agron "ruined the part" for him because she "humanized" Quinn. "She can cry at the drop of a hat. So now her character has a conscience, a soul, and great vulnerability." Murphy was right; Agron imbued the character with a complexity that elevated the role beyond a basic cheerleader role. Viggo Mortensen was cast after production began for The Lord of the Rings. He replaced Stuart Townsend, who was deemed too young for the role and fired the day before filming began. "I felt unprepared," Mortensen revealed. "The other actors had been there for weeks and months, in some cases, preparing for the arduous task of shooting the whole trilogy. I also felt awkward because I'd never been in a position of replacing another actor." Despite his fears, Mortensen killed it in the role. Suggested by u/revdon Stuart Townsend was also replaced in Thor just days before the start of filming. Josh Dallas was cast in the role instead after "creative differences" (though there were rumors Townsend had been late for a screen test and was fired), and he only had a few days before he had to film. Nevertheless, he did well in the small role. Stanley Tucci similarly replaced another actor days before production began. After Ryan Gosling was cast in The Lovely Bones, he started drinking melted ice cream and gained 60 pounds because he "really believed he should be 210 pounds." However, he didn't communicate this to director Peter Jackson, who "had a different idea of how the character should look." When Gosling showed up on set to film, Jackson fired him. Tucci was cast in the role instead, and was the perfect level of creepy. Peter Jackson's wife and collaborator Fran Walsh said it was more Gosling's youth that led to him being ousted, saying Gosling believed he was too young for the role and "was so uncomfortable moving forward, and we began to feel he was not right." Speaking of Tucci, he accepted his role in The Devil Wears Prada only 72 hours before the start of shooting. "I was cast at the 11th hour," Tucci told Entertainment Weekly. "But it was just such a beautiful piece of writing, and there's no way that you could ever say no to such a thing. ... It touched you emotionally. It's the perfect Hollywood movie." Today, it's one of Tucci's most beloved roles. Over 40 women auditioned to play Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Louise Fletcher eventually nabbed the part — days before filming began. "It's a miracle I survived the first day. I was so scared. It was only later that I realized that everybody was scared," she said. Fletcher earned an Oscar for her portrayal. Michael Garza was cast as Ramón Morales in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark only "a couple of days before filming" because writer/producer Guillermo del Toro and director Andre Ovredal couldn't find someone they wanted for the role. "It was a last-minute audition, and I got it. It was crazy, a whirlwind of emotions," Garza revealed. Garza was nominated for an Imagen Award for his portrayal. A week before Prison Break began shooting, it didn't have either of its leads. Wentworth Miller was cast only a week before shooting. And Dominic Purcell wasn't officially cast until three days prior to filming. Both actors were perfect for the role and contributed to the show lasting five seasons. Similarly, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw, who played two of the leading roles in Jaws, were cast only nine days before shooting began. Both earned critical acclaim for their performances. Michael J. Fox was cast in Back to the Future five weeks after it started filming. Eric Stoltz had initially been cast in the role and even filmed for multiple weeks before director Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale decided he didn't have the right comedic tone for Marty. They decided to replace him with Fox, their first choice for the role. However, they couldn't do this right away (Fox was still busy shooting Family Ties) and continued to film with Stoltz for days knowing they wouldn't use the footage. It ended up becoming Fox's most memorable role. Suggested by u/Drewp655321 Sam Waterston was cast in Godless at the last minute because the actor who was supposed to play Marshal John Cook got sick. He only had four days to prepare for the role — yet he killed it in the critically acclaimed series. Chris Sheffield was cast in The Maze Runner so late that the director, Wes Ball, and the producers for the film were already in Louisiana, preparing the production. A few days later, Sheffield was heading to Louisiana, too, to shoot, crafting a strong performance despite his lack of preparation. David Hayman was cast days before Bull started shooting because the original actor had dropped out. "I had no time to think about it," Hayman revealed. "I love Paul Andrew Williams's work. His movies and work are challenging. I love the cast. So it was a no-brainer for me to do it." Hayman's performance was highly praised in reviews. Patrick Renna was the last actor cast in The Sandlot after another actor dropped out only two days before production started on location. Director David Mickey Evans called meeting Renna a "godsend" as he was perfect for the role. Michael Biehn was cast in Aliens weeks into filming, as James Remar had recently been fired after getting arrested for drug possession. According to Biehn, Aliens producer Gale Anne Hurd called him on a Friday and asked if he had a current passport — which, luckily, he did. By Monday, he was on set, giving a legendary performance. Suggested by u/jayseventwo Ed Harris was cast to play Christof in The Truman Show when principal photography was almost done, and shot for only 10 days. He replaced Dennis Hopper, who left the cast due to "creative differences." Harris was nominated for an Oscar for the role. In a pretty unprecedented move, Christopher Plummer was cast in All the Money in the World AFTER the film had been entirely shot. Replacing Kevin Spacey in the wake of his sexual assault allegations, Plummer reshot all of Spacey's scenes in just nine days. He was nominated for an Oscar for his work on the film. Suggested by u/boringwhitecollar Similarly, Tobey Maguire had already filmed all of his scenes for Life of Pi when the director decided to replace him because he was too famous, making his presence distracting. Rafe Spall was quickly cast in Maguire's role, putting him in the rare position of being cast AFTER a movie was technically "complete," though, of course, he had to reshoot all of Maguire's scenes. This was probably the right decision, as I can't picture Maguire in this role. Ben Whishaw was cast as the voice of the titular teddy bear in Paddington after the film was shot. Colin Firth had initially taken on the role but came to a mutual agreement with producers that his voice sounded too mature. "That was a bit scary because it was late in the process. We'd shot the film, but it was the right call," recalled producer David Heyman. Firth's exit was in June, and the film was set to come out in November. Luckily, since Whishaw was just providing a voice, they could still finish the movie for its November release. Paddington would end up becoming critically acclaimed, with Whishaw's voice fitting perfectly. The same happened with Scarlett Johansson in Her. Samantha Morton had originally been cast and worked on set throughout filming. While editing during post-production, director Spike Jonze "realized that what the character/movie needed was different from what Samantha and I had created together." They recast Johansson in the role in the 11th hour, re-recording the character's dialogue. Johansson's voice ended up being a much better fit for the role. And finally, Dougray Scott was originally meant to play Wolverine in the first X-Men film, but issues relating to Scott's role in Mission Impossible II forced him to drop out just as they were about to start shooting. Hugh Jackman — who had first auditioned for the role nine months earlier — took on the role at the 11th hour and was unprepared. In fact, Jackman said that they had to push back the first scene he was meant to shoot, which was a shirtless scene, because he needed time to bulk up. Jackman's performance would end up being one of the most memorable of his career. Suggested by u/Fun-Contribution-601 What do you think? Were these actors the right choice? How did they do considering they had no prep time? Let us know in the comments!

Apartment deal flow falls 14% in Q2
This story was originally published on Multifamily Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Multifamily Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Apartment sales volume fell 14% year over year to $35.1 billion in the second quarter, according to a report that data firm MSCI Real Assets shared with Multifamily Dive. However, they rose 5% to $66.6 billion in the first half of the year. Unlike the Q2 2024, no major entity-level deals closed in 2025. Last year, New York City-based investment manager Blackstone took Denver-based Apartment Income REIT Corp. private for approximately $10 billion, which drove transaction volume. The Real Capital Analytics commercial property price indexes ticked up 0.1%, according to MSCI. Cap rates have remained flat at 5.7% over the past year. Dive Insight: In its monthly report, MSCI acknowledged that the headline sales numbers for 2025 appear unfavorable. But if you dig a little deeper, things are more promising. 'The reality, though, is that the market is still the largest, most liquid component of the commercial real estate market in the U.S., with deal volume just below pre-pandemic levels,' MSCI said in the report. 'The decline for the quarter was an artifact of one big deal in the same quarter last year.' Individual asset sales, often considered the bedrock of multifamily transactions, rose 15% YOY in Q2 to $28 billion. In the five years before the pandemic, apartment trades averaged $29 billion in Q2. In the six major metropolitan areas of Boston; New York City; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; San Francisco; and Chicago, individual sales increased 6% to $6.7 billion in Q2. In the non-major metros, activity for these deals increased 18% YOY in the quarter on sales of $21.3 billion. Portfolio sales fell 57% to $7.1 billion in Q2. No portfolio was traded for more than $1 billion, with the six largest priced at more than $400 million. Apartment investors say the transaction market slowed noticeably after President Donald Trump's tariff announcements in April. 'We're dealing with tariffs,' Jim Brooks, president of Los Angeles-based real estate investor BH Properties, told Multifamily Dive. 'We're dealing with elevated interest rates, and not a lot of cuts are projected. So there is a high cost of capital. Things have gotten slower on the capital market side.' However, Brooks remains hopeful that things will pick up for his firm, partially because institutional investors are still not fully back in the market. 'We're optimistic, just given the way we're capitalized and the way we can operate,' Brooks said. 'Privately capitalized investment groups should have their moment in the sun before institutional capital comes flooding back in.'

New additions to bring motivation and technical fouls
I don't think I've ever been so excited for a future technical foul. Technical fouls are usually a source of frustration, not excitement, right? Well, not for new Phoenix Suns' wing Dillon Brooks. He recently spoke about his anticipation and even responsibility to energize the home getting a technical foul. Yes, you read that correctly, a technical foul as a spark for crowd engagement. And honestly, I'm 100% here for it. 'No bullshit,' Brooks said. 'I don't back down from anybody or anything.' It's a bold statement, but exactly the kind of chaos you expect from Brooks. Love him or hate him, he thrives on emotion, intensity, and being the villain. If it fires up the fans and fuels the team's energy, maybe it's not such a bad strategy after all. This is exactly where the Suns need to find themselves heading into next season: the villains. Led by Dillon the Villain. Let the league hate. Phoenix just might need that edge. Brooks is already my favorite player on the Suns, and it's only taken one interview since he joined the team. This is a story of two former teammates: Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green. Both played for the Houston Rockets, a team that surprisingly finished second in the Western Conference last season. But instead of sticking with that core and building forward, Houston moved on. Brooks and Green? Bounced. What comes with that? Motivation. A chip on their shoulders. During Brooks' interview with the Suns, Jalen Green — now also in Phoenix — crashed the session just to remind everyone of that fact. The message was clear: They won't forget. You know this one stings the most for Green. He spent the early years of his career in Houston, envisioning himself as the future face of the franchise, until the Kevin Durant trade happened. That's the NBA. One day, you think you're the guy. The next morning, you're headed to Phoenix, trying to rebuild your confidence alongside Devin Booker. Green didn't hide from it either. He admitted it was tough at first. But you can already tell—he's ready to prove himself here in Phoenix. I sat myself in front of the TV, excited to watch the young core on the floor, but it was the new additions from Houston that stole the show. The heart and the soul of the Suns look to be in good hands moving forward. The soft Suns of old will find a true identity behind these two. It might take some time, but when it finally shows itself, it will make for some entertaining basketball in the Valley. Listen to the latest episode of the Suns JAM Session Podcast below.
