We made it our mission to enhance the human journey. Every effort to source the world's most supportive footwear is guided by the simple idea that walking makes life better, for everyone, everywhere, every day.The Walking Company began in 1991, when a group of California entrepreneurs saw growing demand for shoes that were genuinely comfortable and genuinely well made. They founded the business with one goal: to lead in comfort footwear. In the early years we focused on curating premium comfort brands known for supportive construction and quality craftsmanship. As the comfort and wellness category grew through the 2000s, we expanded into an extensive range of footwear designed to relieve foot pain and support everyday well-being, and became a leading destination for customers who want style without giving up comfort.Three principles sit behind everything we sell: comfort, support and recovery. Every product we carry has to deliver on at least one, and the best deliver on all three.When we could not find products that met that standard at an accessible price, we built our own. ABEO, our premium line, was developed from millions of customer foot scans and features metatarsal support designed to relieve pressure and pain. Our orthotics range covers pain relief, arch support, cushioning and stability, and our comfort and support footwear system pairs the shoe with an orthotic base, so support comes built in rather than sold as an afterthought. Customers can then upgrade to the orthotic that suits their feet. Alongside our own brands, we continue to carry carefully selected third-party brands that meet the same three standards.We also know that comfort is personal. Fit questions, sizing questions and questions about which orthotic suits a particular foot are the ones we get most often, and our team is here to answer them by chat, by phone or in store. Insights from more than six million customers shape what we buy, what we develop and what we stop selling.
