Men's walking trainers & shoes: make your hike a soft ride
Whether your preferred terrain is untamed trails or the urban jungle, explore it in men's walking shoes that offer comfort and support. Our high-performance designs let you take on roads and trails with confidence, thanks to innovative features like our foam cushioning. Expect lightweight, flexible uppers with soft foam collars, plus grippy outsoles that offer plenty of traction—even when the trail gets slippery.
Absorb the bumps along the way
A good pair of walking shoes needs to feel comfortable on your feet, even after hours of striding across rough terrain. How do we achieve that? Here, at Nike, we create our walking trainers for men with tall foam stacks for all-day comfort. We combine this with Comfortgroove innovation—a uniquely patterned outsole designed to absorb any bumps that come your way. Meanwhile, an exaggerated rocker helps propel you forward. And, because it promotes a natural rolling motion of the foot, you're less likely to put stress on your joints.
Cloud-like cushioning for a pillowy sensation
Experience incredible cushioning that makes each mile feel like the first. Men's walking trainers with Nike React foam midsoles have a springy, responsive feel that softens impact. Look for walking shoes with Air Zoom units that cushion the feet and provide intense energy return for next-level bounce. We've widened the forefoot, arch and toe box on many of our designs so your feet and toes can spread naturally. This helps to improve your balance and stability as well as comfort.
Get a grip, whatever the weather
Whether you're hitting the pavement or going off-road, you need shoes that can handle hard or uneven surfaces. Our outsoles provide traction where you need it, so you feel stable stride after stride. Look out for high-abrasion rubber, all-terrain outsoles that provide enhanced grip on steep inclines and in wet weather. And when the route takes you on asphalt roads, these same outsoles ensure it's a smooth ride. You'll find walking shoes for men with flex grooves that allow your foot to bend and move naturally. Meanwhile, a supportive midfoot keeps you secure and in place.
Shoes your feet can breathe in
Go the extra mile in trainers that allow your feet access to fresh air. We design our men's walking shoes with perforations for better breathability. Look out for engineered mesh materials that won't stiffen, even when wet. These provide a much lighter ride and a barely-there feel. Mesh in the forefoot increases airflow to let warm air out and cold air in, so your feet never overheat. Keep it cool and stay agile in our super lightweight walking trainers, so you can reach your goals with nothing holding you back.
Our steps towards a better future
Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join our journey, choose men's walking shoes with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
