Walkers Welcome
So, you walk but you don’t run. That’s great! You’re welcome here, too. At St. Pete Running Company, we carry a wide variety of running shoes that also double as walking shoes. While there are some specific racing models that we would not recommend for walking, we have plenty of walking shoes to help you make the most of your walking workout.
What Can We Offer to Walkers at St. Pete Running Company?
When walkers come into our running store, we often hear this phrase:
“I’m not a runner, but I’m a walker and I was hoping you had some walking shoes.”
The answer is absolutely yes, we do!
A Sampling of Shoes For Walkers
When you come into St. Pete Running Company, we’ll take you through a shoe fitting process that includes watching you walk to analyze your gait needs (neutral versus stability walking shoes). We have a wide variety of running shoe models that are also excellent walking shoes. The below sampling gives you an idea of what we carry in the top brands.
-
- Hoka Clifton 10
-
- On Cloudsurfer 2

- Altra Experience Flow
-
- Saucony Ride 18
-
- Mizuno Wave Rider 28
-
- Brooks Ghost 17

- Diadora Nucleo 2

- Asics Gel-Nimbus 27
We’ll have you try on more than one model of walking shoe to make sure you can compare and contrast how they feel on your feet, and how they feel when you walk in the shoes. We want you to leave our store with the best walking shoes for you.
Plus we’ve got all the gear you’re going to need to maximize your walking workout and to reach your fitness goals.
Our high wicking apparel helps reduce the moisture from your sweat as you walk. The same is true of our technical running socks. Remember that cotton is rotten! None of our socks have any cotton in them because it doesn’t allow the sweat to evaporate, leaving your feet extra sweaty and uncomfortable on your walks. We carry safety lights for when you walk in the early morning or evening hours. Our Garmin smartwatches can help you keep track of your distance, pace, heart rate, cadence, VO2 max, GPS location, and so much more. We offer handheld bottles and hydration packs which are essential for these hotter months here in Florida. You’ll definitely need polarized sunglasses, such as our stylish Goodr options. Our nutrition includes electrolyte drinks which can help your body replenish things like salt after a longer training walk.
Here’s a gear list to get your started for when you visit the running store:
- Tech Socks
Apparel- Polarized Sunglasses
- Safety lights
- Hydration packs
- Nutrition
- Garmin Smartwatches
