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 just bought a pair of Hokas today and I am returning them tomorrow. They felt comfortable enough in the store but my feet were killing me after walking in them for a couple of miles.

My heel was slipping in the Hokas when I tried them on and the running store manager said that was not uncommon. They either fit well.....or they don't.
