Shoes from EU makers for very long walks?

Hi peeps,

I am a walker... I go mostly ealking everywhere. Usually I use nike with the padded soles for walking as they are comfortable but I need to replace mine.

Any reccommendations? I'm looking for comfort and hopefully not something that makes me eat cheap ramen for a month :)

Lavoro makes work-related shoes, may be comfortable...

Not EU (but part of EFTA), but I'd like to recommend the Mostly Swiss "On" shoes for this: https://www.on.com/

The shoes are incredibly comfortable for walking. They are a bit pricey but not insane. I didn't pay attention to them getting popular until I noticed every employee in a hospital was wearing these which made me understand that it must be more than just a fad (it was more than just a fad).

Edit: wanted to add that I mean specifically Cloud 5 & 6 shoes from them.

Always trust a nurse and their shoe of choice!

Ended up getting me a pair from here :)

Exactly my thought! And happy to hear you got help choosing / finding from this thread! :)

I was looking at getting new shoes, always got nike because they fit well. Time to finally start looking at Adidas as a replacement. Been needing to buy for months and putting it off has paid off now at being able to support the EU instead.

Adidas as a replacement

Ain't Adidas german? Exploitative, sweat-shoppy, but german, no?

Uhm yes, hence I'm using it as a replacement to my usual Nikes?

Whenever this question comes up it reminds me of this Family Guy bit 😅 In all seriousness though maybe you can find something here

Lol had forgotten that bit

Yeah, something similar to the Merrell Moab line, but from the EU.
