Mens Walking Shoes & Trainers

Walking shoes cover more ground than most people expect, and the right category depends primarily on where and how you walk most often.

• Trail hiking shoes: A more pronounced tread pattern and reinforced construction give trail walking shoes the grip and protection needed for uneven and mixed terrain that a standard trainer simply cannot provide. 
• Men's waterproof walking shoes: Gore-Tex and proprietary waterproof membranes create a breathable waterproof barrier that keeps feet dry in rain and wet terrain without the claustrophobic feel of older waterproof constructions. 
• Lightweight walking trainers: Engineered mesh uppers and lightweight EVA foam midsoles make these the most breathable and comfortable option for urban walking, commuting, and casual trail use. Some people prefer this lighter, breathable feel with supportive cushioning for long days on pavement over heavier trail-specific alternatives.
• Multi-terrain walking shoes: Versatile outsoles with defined tread patterns that perform across both hard surfaces and softer outdoor ground suit the kind of varied everyday walking where one pair needs to cover multiple surface types without compromise.
• Approach shoes: Sticky rubber outsoles, a close and precise fit, and durable construction place approach shoes firmly between a walking shoe and a climbing shoe.

Whatever the terrain, activity level, or personal style preference, our collection of men's walking shoes and men's walking trainers has every style and construction covered.

A few specific details consistently separate walking shoes that genuinely work across long active days from those that look suitable in a shop but disappoint on the trail.

• Breathable mesh uppers: Air circulates freely through engineered mesh, keeping feet cool during warmer weather walking and extended outdoor use. The trade-off is that mesh offers little weather resistance, making these uppers best suited to drier conditions and warmer seasons.
• Waterproof membranes: A waterproof membrane sits between the upper and the lining, blocking water ingress while allowing moisture vapour to escape during activity. 
• EVA midsole cushioning: These midsole materials absorb ground impact and provide the responsive underfoot cushioning that makes a genuine difference across longer walking distances. 
• Rubber outsole traction: Tread depth and pattern shape grip performance on different surfaces. Deeper more widely spaced lugs bite into soft and muddy ground; shallower tighter patterns perform better on hard packed paths and city streets. 
• Reinforced heel counters: A stiff heel counter prevents the heel from slipping or rolling inward during sustained walking, which matters more on longer outings where small inefficiencies in foot movement add up to real fatigue.

Each of these features contributes to a pair of men's walking shoes that offers comfortable cushioning, reliable traction, and durable support across every type of outdoor terrain.

Terrain, conditions, and the kind of walking you do most often narrow the choice considerably more than brand preference or aesthetics.

• Trail walking and outdoor day hikes: Lightweight hiking shoes with rubber outsoles, defined tread, and breathable mesh uppers suit active trail walking and outdoor day hikes on varied and mixed terrain, providing reliable grip and comfortable support for sustained walking.
• Wet weather and variable conditions: Men's waterproof walking shoes with Gore-Tex membranes suit regular outdoor walking in rain, wet terrain, and unpredictable British weather, keeping feet dry across sustained activity in every season.
• Urban walking and everyday use: Lightweight men's walking trainers with breathable mesh uppers, responsive EVA cushioning, and versatile outsoles suit urban walking, commuting, and everyday active use. 
• Scrambling and technical approaches: Approach shoes with sticky rubber outsoles and a precise fit suit scrambling and technical mountain approaches where grip and precision on rock take priority over cushioning and everyday comfort.
• Mixed terrain and varied everyday use: Multi-terrain walking shoes with versatile traction outsoles and supportive cushioning offer one pair of comfortable and reliable walking shoes for a wide range of daily activities, handling the transition between hard surfaces and softer outdoor ground.
