My Favorite Walking Sneakers Are Only $48 for October Prime Day—and They’re Waterproof
Why I Love My Reebok Walking Sneakers
I do a lot of walking, but not necessarily for fitness. I mostly save that for the gym. I walk my youngest daughter to and from school, and I also have a 1-year-old dog who needs exercise, so we regularly walk the streets of our neighborhood. However, I didn’t realize how much I needed walking sneakers until recently. I received a few pairs to test out and see if they deserved a spot in our walking shoe review.
Reebok Women’s DMX Comfort + Sneaker Review
I was immediately impressed with one pair in particular, the Reebok Women’s DMX Comfort + Sneaker. After a few weeks, I was quite impressed with this shoe. The cloud-like soles and the combination of shock absorption and springiness made my stride feel great. I’m guessing that’s thanks to the shoe’s DMX cushioning, which is touted as moving air from heel to toe with every step for that springy feeling.
Comfort and Support
When I put the shoes on, I was immediately greeted by the cloud-like soles, and there was a nice combination of shock absorption and springiness to my stride. The knit upper has just enough stretch that the toe box gives my toes room to move and stretch, but there’s also a sense of snugness. Some sneakers, especially if I’ve walked a lot that day, will irritate the top of my foot, but this shoe never did that.
Waterproofing
Another EatingWell editor told me that these walking sneakers are waterproof, so I was excited to test that feature. It was kismet when someone accidentally emptied a 16-ounce water bottle onto my foot. My sock stayed completely dry!
Cons
Now, in all my years of shoe testing, I haven’t found a pair that doesn’t come with at least a few drawbacks—but the cons of these Reebok walking shoes are minimal. My biggest complaint is that the “feel-good blue” color showed dirt pretty quickly. Additionally, the tread is fine for walking on pavement, but there isn’t enough grip to wear them on a dirt or gravel trail. And lastly, they really are just a walking shoe. I tried running in them and wearing them to the gym for a HiiT-like class and I found them too springy and cushiony for those applications.
Where to Buy and Price
While they’re usually $80, these Reebok walking shoes are now up to 40% off for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. You can grab them for as low as $48 during this sale.
Alternatives: Brooks Ghost 16 and Brooks Ghost Max
If these Reebok walking shoes aren’t for you, don’t worry! We’ve tested many, many, many shoes here at EatingWell. And these two pairs below are some of our most recent editor faves:
B Brooks Ghost 16
This is a walking shoe favorite among EatingWell editors. “They’re quite comfortable, giving you ‘squish’ without feeling unstable or like you’re walking on a platform,” says commerce editor Katie Tuttle. In addition to walking, she found they worked well in her HiiT classes: “They definitely made exercises like burpees and jumping rope less painful on the knees and feet,” says Tuttle. Quick sizing tip, though: They seem to run about a half size small, so consider sizing up.
B Brooks Ghost Max
Turns out, a lot of the EatingWell team likes Brooks’ sneakers. The Ghost Max is one of Kristin Montemarano’s current walking shoe favorite. And they’re also 33% off right now for Prime Big Deal Days.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Reebok Women’s DMX Comfort + Sneaker for walking. They’re comfortable, supportive, and waterproof. And with the current sale, you can grab them for a steal.
