Walking shoes

Can anyone tell me which brands of lightweight walking shoes are good quality and comfortable? Chunky trainer/shoe hybrid types rather than trainers for road and trail walking.

There are plenty of reductions on Sports Direct of stylish Gelert and Karrimor shoes but I believe they're both owned by SD now and are not what they used to be.

Thanks in advance.

    I really like the INOV8 Roclite 325. But I do all of my running in inov8's, these ones are designed for fastpacking type stuff but should do the trick.

    I got a pair last year from SD for £22 Gilert I believe. Very comfy and walked miles in them.

    +1 for Decathlon. Very comfortable and at a good price.

    I like the Sketchers Go Walk shoes. Generally they are slip on shoes but I get the pair with an elasticated strap to keep them firmly on my feet as I walk.

    I keep a black pair at work which I slip on when I go for a walk on my lunch break. They pass for a casual pair of work shoes.
