The Amazon-Skechers line, called Concept 3, is comprised entirely of sneakers, and each style rings in at under $50. It’s also podiatrist-approved. The Concept 3 line offers comfortable options for walking shoes,” Nelya Lobkova, DPM at Step Up Surgical Podiatry in New York City, shares with Yahoo Life. “All sneakers have a rubber-type sole with cushioning.” To Dr. Lobkovacushioning is crucial. “We lose much of the fat pad that provides natural cushioning as we age,” she says. And a firm heel counter, which many of these sneakers have, will “aid in proper alignment of the foot.”

And if you have specific foot issues, take note: “All the pairs in the line have a memory foam insole, which accommodates multiple bony deformities, including bunions, heel spurs, and metatarsalgia [when the ball of your foot becomes inflamed], as well as fat-pad atrophy,” Dr. Lobkova adds.
