Sockfit Knit Walker

These fly knit walking shoes pull on like a sock: the collar is knitted in one piece with the upper, so there is no tongue to shift and no lace to tie. The upper is the fly knit mesh the supplier lists on the offer page, with open panels across the vamp that let air through on a warm walk, and the whole pair is built light enough to wear from morning to evening.

Fly knit walking shoes on a thick, light sole

The sole is a thick moulded platform with a shallow tread, which keeps the foot further from cold pavement than a flat canvas shoe while staying soft under the heel. The toe is cut round and roomy, the heel counter is padded, and the opening is wide enough to step into without a shoehorn.

Fit and care

Take your usual EU size and compare it against a pair you already wear; the knit upper gives a little across the instep but the length runs true. Brush the knit clean, wipe the sole with a damp cloth and let the pair air-dry away from direct heat rather than machine washing it.
