Womenswalkingshoereview.com is launched to provide appropriate advice for both serious walkers and those who include walking in their daily exercise plan.

State College, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/16/2015 -- A recent article on the medical website "MayoClinic.org" entitled "Walking shoes: Features and fit that keep you moving" featured information on why these shoes are so important. The fitness writers at the Mayo Clinic report, "Walking shoes were created for a certain function and to be fit correctly onto the foot. Every walking shoe is built in a different way. Before making a purchase, prospective wearers should be familiar with several brands and styles."

The writers at the Mayo Clinic also note, "Buying the right shoe for one's foot can prevent common injuries to the feet like calluses and blisters. Shoes should be fit for comfort before beginning an exercise plan that involves daily walking. Among the options that footwear buyers should be aware of are gel pads, extra cushioning and roll bars that provide added stability."

Meeting the needs of female consumers who want to find the most perfect pair of walking shoes to fit their feet, is the aptly named website "Best Walking Shoes for Women." Spokesperson Sheryl Smith describes their goals, "Many women confuse running shoes for walking shoes. While this is not hard to do, running is very different from the act of walking. When we walk, our weight rolls from our heels, through the ball of the foot and then the contact with the ground continues to our toes. Due to the mechanics of this movement, the shoes women wear when walking need to be designed with this exact purpose in mind."

Sheryl Smith explains, "On the web pages of 'womenswalkingshoereview.com' we give consumers an education in finding the right footwear for their feet. Our readers become educated as to their arch type and what their level of pronation might be. In addition, we offer shoes in a variety of styles and with every budget level in mind. For many people the cost of their walking shoes will depend on whether they are a serious walker, walk on a daily basis or wish to wear shoes whose aesthetic design they prefer."

"Among the two most frequently asked questions on the website concern walkers with 'flat feet' and those who have higher than average arches." Sheryl elaborates, "Walking shoes built for flat or undeveloped arches are especially designed to provide the support and cushioning this foot does not have naturally. Additionally, these walking shoes often have an arch that is built into the insole to simulate the natural curve of the foot."

Sheryl Smith continues, "Likewise, a foot with a high arch has issues all its own. These feet tend to under-pronate when one is standing, which can result in greater strain when walking. A walking shoe for this type of foot optimally contains a softer midsole area, so the amount of weight on the feet can be distributed in a more equal fashion. When our readers visit Sally's site here at http://womenswalkingshoereview.com/best-walking-shoes-for-high-arches/ they can learn excellent tips on how to find and fit the right shoe for this type of foot. As with all foot types, we offer photographs, a detailed description of each shoe and our unbiased recommendations."

Site upgrade also includes weight loss information for consumers doing research

State College, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/31/2014 -- Data released recently from the National Walkers' Health Study which included more than 30,000 women revealed those who took the longest walks each week, versus those who racked up the most miles each week, were more likely to use less medication. Further studies from Italian researchers have found people who expended the most energy walking had a 27% lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who expended the least.

With these obvious benefits in mind among others, Sheryl Smith, a spokesperson for Best Walking Shoes For Women (www.womenswalkingshoereview.com) has announced the expansion of her educational website website for women. "We want women to get out there and start walking, but we want them to do it the safest way possible, with the right shoes on their feet. Yes, you could just pick up the cheapest pair of shoes you could find and get started, but that's not the best way to jump start what should be a lifelong hobby and lifestyle. That's why we started this site - to inform and educate women on the best shoes in the marketplace."

The site is made up of not only opinion about the various brands of shoes, but facts, too, says Smith. "Walking shoes are vastly different from running shoes in a number of ways, which is important for women to know. It is very unfortunate some people think that they are the same, because walking shoes have specific properties designed for walking and running shoes are engineered specifically for running."

Smith goes on to defend her choices on the website. "Walking has so many benefits for women, but low cost has to be one of the biggest. Some people like to take some of those savings and invest in a really quality pair of shoes, but others can't afford to at this time. That's why we provide shoes to fit all budget ranges. I like to encourage women to buy the most comfortable shoe they can afford. For example, the Brooks Addiction Walker for Women, for my money, is one of the best you can buy."

The website has been so popular since its launch, says Smith, they have branched off into other areas. "We've had a wonderful reception to our site, with wonderful comments and and an increasing amount of traffic. We've recently added a Fat Loss Factor tab for those people who are looking to lose weight in addition to finding research information about walking shoes. The two topics just seemed to go hand in hand." Smith concluded.
