Consumers value comfort above all else when assessing cheap walking shoes. The factors that make cheap walking shoes comfortable are flexibility, arch support, and heel support. These features, along with sufficient cushioning and proper fit, help prevent injury to your feet and legs. Flexibility in the forefoot of cheap walking shoes is vital, because this is where the foot naturally bends when you walk. Arch support keeps your arch from collapsing and prevents over-pronation. Heel support is important for stability with each step. Also look for a cheap walking shoe that's lightweight so it doesn't drag your foot down. Some cheap walking shoes come in both men's and women's styles, while others are available for only one gender or the other.
