NOBULL does a great job of keeping it simple but specific. The Journey is their flagship running/walking shoe, and its latest release, the Journey 2, holds up well to some of the best we’ve tested. It features a similar build/feel to our favorite walking shoes, Brooks’ Ghost Max 2. It takes a comfort-first approach—cushy, stacked CMEVA foam in the midsole, a molded OrthoLite footbed, and a stretchy knit upper for step-in comfort.

Like most of NOBULL’s shoes, stability is a huge factor—a TPU heel clip helps keep the highly cushioned shoe sturdy and supportive. Balance can sometimes be an issue with stacked cushion walking shoes, but the Journey 2 does a great job of keeping the foot in place. And like anything from NOBULL, it makes for a great everyday gym shoe.
