Why Wear Propét Walking Shoes

Right Shoe for You!

Propét Walking Shoes offer more than just value. We offer you and your customers the quality you have come to expect from a great walking shoe. The fine, supple leather uppers that are more resilient to the vigors of everyday activity. The solid arch support, cushioned insoles and soft lining to help keep your customers' feet happy.

Propét meets and/or exceeds the requirements that walkers are looking for in their everyday activities:
- Heel  cushioning/support: The shoe needs to feel resilient when you land on your  heel and doesn't wobble but have a good "heel counter," which is a visible or built-in  supportive cup around the sides of the heel to stabilize it. 
- Roomy toe box: Allows for plenty of space to allow your toes to spread when they push off  behind them. 
- Forefoot flexibility:There needs to be flexibility to push off from. A stiff shoe can  precipitate shin pain. 
- Low heel profile: Chunky heels, as many running shoes have, create more of a forceful forward  thrust motion and cause you to land on their forefoot harder. That forces your  shin muscles to work hard to brake the action, again possibly bringing on shin pain. 
- Lightweight: You will feel the difference in stride and pace. 
- Breathable uppers: Look for mesh or other breathable inserts or holes that will minimize heat build-up in  your feet.

What makes a great walking shoe?

This question has been asked by many. What is our answer to this age old question? Well if you really must know... it comes down to support. The proper support can make all the difference in a short walk ­to the store or that long stroll you want to take over the weekend.

Not all shoes are built for all things. With walking shoes, the idea is to cradle the foot naturally to avoid any unnecessary strain to the delicate and fascinating structure of the foot. So  with proper arch support, a good heel stabilizer and the proper shock
absorption, your feet will be feeling great with every step.
