Women with flat feet or high arches should look for specially designed shoes that will help alleviate stress in particular parts of their feet. If you can see your entire foot impression when you step on hard, wet sand then you are probably an overpronator, the technical term for floppy or flat feet. Your keyword is overpronation. You want to look for motion control shoes. If you barely see any arch at all in your foot impression when you step on hard, wet sand you probably have high arches and want extremely well cushioned shoes. The keyword that you want to look for in shoe descriptions is over-supination.

Walking is an aerobic exercise. You increase your intake of oxygen by using the big muscles in your legs and torso. Walking also keeps you fit and it can even help you take off weight and keep it off. A 150 lb. woman walking 30 minutes at a moderate pace burns about 132 calories. Three hours of walking burns 792 calories, or more than half a day of normal food consumption. Stepping up the pace from moderate to brisk (4 mph) is even better. Our same 150 lb. woman would burn 183 calories in a 30 minute walk and 1,098 calories in a three-hour per week walking regimen or about 75% of a day's normal food consumption.
A recent Harvard study showed that women who walk at a moderate pace (3 mph) for three hours a week can cut their risk of heart disease by as much as 40%. That is not an insignificant number. The study also found that the heart disease prevention benefit of walking was comparable to the same benefit you could get from jogging, fitness aerobics and other forms of more vigorous exercise.
But as they say on TV, "Wait, there's more."
Along with its heart disease prevention benefits the Harvard study showed that walking also combats depression, bolsters the immune system, helps prevent and control diabetes, and helps prevent osteoporosis, a bone weakening disease that afflicts three times more women than men.
