TESTED BY WELCOME LISHIVHA

It took a while after strolling around town to figure out why I was still feeling snug and sleepy after a strong cup of coffee the morning I tested the Maxed Walk Shoes. It was the weight, they’re ultralight. And, for a sub-R250 pair of walking shoes, really comfortable. I felt like I was still wearing my slippers! They have non-slip outsoles which work well in urban environments but not all that well on more rugged, changeable terrain. The soft uppers moulded to the shape of my feet nicely and the small ventilation holes in the front kept my feet feeling fresh without sacrificing too much warmth. There’s not much ankle support, but I found this made them easier to slip off without having to untie the laces (lazy habits die hard).
