she wear Pace Women’s Walking Shoes

The Australian Bureau of Statistics says 53% of women walk for exercise yet Stacey Head couldn’t find a purpose-built women's woman's walking shoe that wasn’t, well, fugly. Running shoes (mostly based on male foot shapes and gait) optimise forward motion at high speeds but don't support footstrike at walking pace or provide stability while standing. And they’re only expected to last three months! Meanwhile, durable walking shoes based on female biomechanics lacked aesthetic appeal. The brief for Pace was: a true women’s walking shoe with athletic style, adjustable enough that even women with “tricky” feet could find their perfect fit.

The quality microfibre and jacquard upper achieves an athletic look with the breathability expected of a running shoe, and the flexibility and support good foot health demands. The rocker style outsole helps smooth out a woman's gait without being so pronounced it affects balance. The midsole (denser than a running shoe) offers durability, stability and comfort for a whole day of walking. Heel-to-toe pitch supports better body alignment and reduces strain on your feet, ankles and achilles. Colourways include a fresh and classy white/mint green; an opulent purple/aqua; and a sleek, practical black especially suited to work.
