But no footwear is quite as comfy as a pair of sneakers, which is exactly why they're Ree's go-to choice for everyday activities on the ranch. Wondering about her favorite walking shoes? Look no further than this list, which includes a pair from Ree's all-time favorite sneaker brand, On Cloud. There are plenty more great options where they came from, too.
Our Top Picks
Our collection of the best walking shoes for women features picks with arch support, cushioning, and shock absorption, for guaranteed all-day comfort. Some of these comfortable sneakers for women make great running shoes, too, so you can slip them on whether you're running a mile or just running errands.
We've got more tips for choosing your new perfect pair: For starters, Maryland-based podiatrist Priya Parthasarathy, DPM, says you should look for sturdy shoes that can't be bent completely in half. They should also have a removable insole (bonus points if it's memory foam!) and a firm, supportive heel.
