Difference between walking shoes and running shoes
The difference is all in how it feels when you put it on.
A walker walks heel first as opposed to a runner who runs in-sole first.
Keep in mind the fact that manufacturers put more thought into running shoes than they do in walking shoes, so what might seem the same to you might actually make a huge difference to you when you walk in them.
Walking shoes are usually light weight and more flexible as compared to slightly heavier and non-flexible running shoes.
What to look for in a walking shoe
Flexible and light weight:
In this case, you need to make sure that whichever shoe you picked is both flexible and light weight. A good walking shoe would weigh between 10-32 ounces. The reason why you would need a light weight shoe is because it's easier to move around in them on any surface. Same is the case with flexibility.
Breathable but with a good fit:
Try walking around for about 30 minutes before trying the shoes on. What this does is make your foot a bit swollen. When you wear the shoe, you can determine whether it'll fit perfectly after a long walk or will it be too tight. Your shoes don't have to be too fitted, however.
Make sure that there's an almost 1.3 centimeter space left between your toes and the tip of the shoe. The sides don't have to be too tight to the point of hurting you, however, they can't be too loose to the point where your foot falls off either.
Flat:
Your heel tends to touch the ground first when you're walking, so you would need shoes which lay flat. However, as I'm pretty sure you know, no athletic shoe is completely flat. This is referred to as the heel drop measurement. The difference in heights can be from 10-30 millimeters based on whichever design you pick.
I'd strongly recommend buying shoes with a heel drop measurement of 0-10 millimeters. If your heel is way higher than your toes, then you'll be creating more pressure there and as a result, blisters will form on your toes.
Cushioning:
All walking shoes have some sort of padding inside of them. The padding can make a huge difference id you're keen on comfort, as you should be. It's usually the padding which saves your foot from bruises, blisters or from poking your feet at rocky surfaces.
Look for a shoe with soft padding, it doesn't matter if it looks less in comparison to another shoe, what matters is the comfort.
Price:
A good women's walking shoe is one which doesn't put too much strain on your wallet. Trust me, a good choice for you with all the necessities I just mentioned is possible to buy in a specific price limit. Somewhere along $36-$75
