It also depends on your feet. My case: I am a (heavy) supinator. If I had to buy a pair of shoes for walking/jogging a long distance I would look for supinator shoes. These tend to have more support on the internal arc of the feet.

However I got pediatric inserts designed by a foot doctor. What he didn't tell me was that for those kinds of inserts it is better to wear a wide shoe which accommodates the inserts, but "neutral". I still was wearing my supinator shoes. So it will not "overcompensate". This advice was from a specialist running shoe shop. When I tried the neutral one he offered me on one feet, and the old "overcompensating" shoe I had, I noticed the lack of stability immediately.

I have a friend whose problem is that their feet sweat more than usual. In their case the solution was shoes with extra ventilation around the soles.
