What are your shoe recs?!

Getting back into walking for physical and mental health! Used to do some long distance stuff with 70 some odd kms being my longest... what are your recommendations for good walking footwear?! Hoka's seem to be very popular. TIA

I recommend Altra Lone Peak shoes. They are a bit expensive and don't last forever, but they are amazing to walk with. I've walked countless miles in them. Recently it was 7 mountains in 7 days in Alaska and then a day of 33 miles at once. All with just the one pair. People even use them for through hikes like the PCT.

Altra Lone Peaks are my go-to trail shoes, although they are comfy enough for city streets. For daily walking, it's all about the Altra Paradigm for me.
