Manufacturers typically market shoes according to gender, so we have listed both women’s and men’s picks below. However, the main difference between most men’s and women’s shoes lies in the shoe width and size. In some cases, men’s shoes are built to support greater weights. So people with bigger bodies may want to opt for men’s versions, and people with smaller bodies may prefer women’s versions.

If your shoes help you battle the outdoor elements — from rain to snow and mud — make sure you clean them properly when you return indoors. This includes removing any caked-in debris on the bottom and gently washing the sides with warm water. Proper care will help extend the life of your shoes, and thus, support your posture for longer.
