Walking Three Miles Every Day For The Past Six Months Helped Her Lose Weight, So Now She’s Sharing The Best Shoes For Anyone Looking To Start Their Own Walking Journey This Year
Are you trying to go on more ‘hot girl walks’ in 2024?
It’s been well-known for a long time now that going on walks is great for your physical and mental health. You get your body moving, have a chance to clear your head, and can experience some new areas in your neighborhood.
However, going on nice long walks can become uncomfortable and unpleasant if you’re not wearing good walking shoes.
I know that good workout shoes can be expensive, but if you want to do some more stuff on your feet, you need them to prevent injuries and getting worn out too soon. Finding the right pair can be tricky, and when you go online, most sources seem to talk about the best shoes for running versus long-distance walking.
Thankfully, one TikTok creator who went on a lot of long walks last year compiled an accessible and great list of shoes for walking.
Kiera Jacob (@kierajacob) is a lifestyle and wellness content creator who went viral after making a video about her top five favorite shoes for walking in honor of more walks in the new year.
Kiera mentions that she began walking to help cope with her anxiety and found it to be very beneficial.
“I spent the last six months walking three miles almost every day, and I lost weight,” says Kiera in her video.
“If you’re thinking of starting your own walking journey in the new year, for whatever reason…you need the proper footwear, or you’ll literally get hurt.”

Kiera’s list is a culmination of shoes that were suggested to her by her TikTok followers and shoes she found herself that she really liked. Here they are!
#1: HOKAs
Kiera says the HOKA brand shoes are a great option all around and good for those with wide feet.
“HOKAs are ugly to me, okay?” says Kiera.
“We all know that. But, the amount of nurses who have recommended these is astounding, and nurses are [legitimately] on their feet all day. So, let’s take it from them.”
#2: Adidas Boston Runners
These shoes are Kiera’s personal favorites, and she’s been through several pairs, claiming they’ve never failed her. In her video, Kiera mentions that these shoes are also affordable, and you can often find the Boston 10 shoes for under $100.
#3: Ascics GELs
These shoes were another pair that came highly recommended by Kiera’s social media followers. So, although she hasn’t purchased them, she included them on her list since they seem very popular.
#4: Brooks Running Ghosts
According to Kiera, this brand is another awesome option for those with wide feet.
Kiera points out that those who love and often purchase Brooks running shoes are very vocal about their love for them, proving that they’re a popular shoe.
“If the Brooks shoe went on tour, it would out-earn the Eras tour,” says Kiera.
“I believe it. Brooks girls are always hyping up their Brooks.”
#5: New Balance 1080s
“I have owned a pair of these before, and I love the colors they have for these shoes,” says Kiera.
New Balance has been a very well-liked brand throughout the fitness community, and if you’re really into color-coordinating your workout looks, it just might be the shoe for you.
At the end of her video, Kiera throws in a little reminder that although this is the season for trying to stick to resolutions, you should remember to be kind to yourself and know that you don’t need to change every little thing about yourself to grow as a person. Happy walking!
