A trusted shoe for everyday miles, the Clifton 10 has been a Hoka staple for 10 years. FEATURES Improved cushioning The Clifton 10 now incorporates 3mm of additional foam, increasing the stack height to 42mm at the heel and 34mm at the forefoot. This additional cushioning improves comfort without compromising the shoe's responsiveness. Improved heel-to-toe drop The heel-to-toe drop has increased from 5 mm to 8 mm, providing a smoother and more stable ride, especially during slower runs. This change contributes to better support and comfort over long distances. Roomier upper Hoka listened to runner feedback and created the Clifton 10 with a roomier toe box for greater comfort and freedom. This upgrade is ideal for wider feet or those who prefer more room in the forefoot. Breathable jacquard mesh upper The Clifton 10's upper is now made of jacquard mesh for a better fit and increased breathability. This new design allows the shoe to follow the natural movement of your foot, ensuring optimal comfort even on long runs. Durable outsole The outsole features strategically placed abrasion-resistant rubber, increasing the shoe's durability while minimizing its weight. This design allows the Clifton 10 to withstand many miles and maintain its performance over time.

Best comfy shoes for standing and walking all day
Honestly those are all solid choices. I'd lean toward the Hoka Clifton over the Bondi - the Bondi can feel a bit too cushy for all-day wear, like you're walking on marshmallows. The Clifton hits that sweet spot of cushion without feeling unstable. Brooks Ghost is also a safe bet if you want something more traditional. And yeah don't sweat the sizing thing - tons of dudes rock women's shoes for the better fit, especially with smaller feet. That said, the leather boot comment above has some merit if you're just standing in one spot all day. But if you're actually walking around a lot, I'd stick with the running shoes. Just make sure whatever you get has good arch support and isn't completely flat.Also linking [some options](https://d3oc4tmn8qmbnq.cloudfront.net/?q=GMKAO858) for you to browse thru

Best walking shoes for men: which ones do you recommend?
If you're not putting serious miles on them, a lot of Asics models provide plenty of cushion without bilk and are comfortable for long days (my preference for work shoes as a nurse on my feet for 12-13 hours at a time) but if you're walking serious mileage, you'll want more cushion such as the Hoka Clifton or the Brooks Glycerin, based on my personal experience. I trained and ran many races in Hokas believing that distance running meant I was forced to have blisters no matter what, but I haven't had any since I started running in Brooks Glycerins. Working/ standing in the Hokas was much more comfortable and I'd walk or stand in those all day over the Glycerin, but if I'm running, it is gonna be in Brooks.

Best walking shoes for men: which ones do you recommend?
Only footwear that's buy it for life are leather goodyear welt shoes which can be repaired. If you can handle those then great. But what I believe you're really looking for is a running shoe. Try all the popular brands with their high-end soft sole material. Like Adidas ultra boost material, whatever brooks puts in their Glycerin line of shoes, Nike with their zoomX material. Some budget options would be the Hoka Clifton. Consider 'stack height', consider heel-to-toe-drop and consider toe box width. Those are major factors specific to each individual. For hiking I use trail runners, Hoka speedgoat. For running I've been using brooks glycerin. For walking around town I have a bunch of Adidas ultra boost 1.0s. All of which I bought at massive discounts at a dicks warehouse. Check out dicks warehouse or Sierra trading post to get high quality name brand shit for actually significant sales.

I will second the Hoka Bondi 10’s. I need both knees replaced but until that happens these have been the answer. Tried Crocs, New Balance, etc. None came close.

Recommendations for 10-15k daily steps walking shoes?
Id recommend Hoka, specifically the Clifton or Bondi models. I have yet to try shoes as comfy as those for walking and running

Best Performance Lifestyle shoes?
If you like the 990v5s but want extra cushion, I’d suggest the 990v6. More modern foam, great durability and style (imo). You can find them below retail at Nordstrom Rack or Joe’s NB Outlet. If you’re wanting a true running shoe, I’d suggest trying some out in person, in particular: - Nike Pegasus — good outsole durability - ASICS Gel Kayano - ASICS gel Nimbus - HOKA Bondi 10 - New Balance 880v15

What are the best shoes for standing all day?
Id recommend Hoka, either Bondi 9 or Clifton 9, both are great. Clifton is a little lighter, so those are the ones I prefer

Best walking/daily shoes for traveling?
I would have him try on a bunch at rei. Hoka Clifton works for me but doesn’t work for my sister or mom. My mom likes oofos and my sister likes topos

Wide sneakers suggestions
I misunderstood and thanks for clarifying! I think if you look, you could find Clifton 9 still available even though the Clifton 10 is out. Usually third party retailer like a Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, Fleet Feet etc

Best shoes for walking/standing all day?
Do you walk and/or stand all day right now? What pain do you experience now and where? Do you have a neutral or metatarsal arch? For me personally, running shoes suck for standing all day. I have 2 styles of Hokas. I wear the Clifton 9 casually and when I go for my walks. I wear the Bodhi 9 shoes at conferences when I’m standing a lot.
