If you've been asking yourself, what is a unique gift for walkers?  Or, what kind of presents for walkers would be the most thoughtful gift?  

Or, What do I get the walker who has everything?

The products featured in this review are the Editors Choice for gifts for walkers. An avid walker for over 25 years, she has pretty much written the book on the benefits of a daily morning walk.   Walking gifts are practical gifts.  Even if the walker in your life already has items on the list, it's likely time to replace some of them.

Walking Gifts Short List

• Walking Shoes
• Walking Poles
• All-Weather Jacket
• Fitness Monitor
• Head Phones
• Water Bottle

We trust that you'll find your next favorite item from the list we've researched for you below. All of these products have been hand-picked by our editors and we won't recommend something we wouldn't use in our own family. Some may even be items that we already use! We may receive a small compensation if you decide to buy something (that's how we keep the lights on). Some reviews have been edited for length and clarity. Have fun searching for your next fav product!

Let's Talk Walking Shoes

You know when it comes to shoes, they are very hard to buy as a gift.  Shoe sizes vary by manufacturer, and if a person ordering is unsure of the correct size to order, it has to be easy to return them.  So it's better the 'walker' in your life order or buy their own shoes.  Agree?

Of course, we do have an opinion, since we are talking about walking gifts: It's true, among present ideas for walkers, the best gifts for avid walkers are gifts like outdoor shoes or water bottles that should be replaced every year. Here are our favs for the best-selling walking shoe and hiking boots on Amazon for your consideration.

1) Skechers Women's Go Joy Walking Shoe Sneaker

They are Amazon's #1 Best Seller for Women's Walking Shoes.   Lots of women are liking the slip-on style of these walking shoes.

2) Merrell Women's Moab 2 Vent Hiking Shoe

OUR EDITORS FAVS:  These hiking boots aren't boots at all, they are Merrell Women's Hiking Shoe.  They are Amazon's #1 Best Seller for Women's Hiking Shoes.  We love the variety of colors these shoes come in.  We like the comfort of these hiking shoes for anyone who enjoys walking or trail running.

Do you know what MOAB stands for?  Mother-Of-All-Boots ... so that gives you some idea how confident they are walking lovers will LOVE them.

BACK TO THE BEST WALKING GIFTS

Here are 5 Great Walking Gift Ideas

BEST GIFTS FOR WALKERS #1

Walking Sticks | Trekking Poles for Long Walks

Walking sticks or trekking poles are super popular right now for the serious hiker or walker. They help with balance and greater stability and relieve some of the stress on your joints when walking on uneven terrain.

URBAN POLING is a Canadian company that has made researching and perfecting walking poles their business.

[Editors Note] My walking buddy and I have used Urban Poling walking poles for several years.  We love the fact that they burn up to 46% more calories than regular walking, they help with balance anytime ( but especially in the winter months), and they use all of your body muscles helping you to walk faster and further.

Urban Poling products are stylish and come in a variety of colors to suit anyone’s taste.

Testament as gifts for walkers: "We like them so much we even bought them for our mothers!"  That's how much we believe in them.

Urban Poles 4Life

WHY WE LIKE THEM

The Urban Poles 4Life are a pair of high-quality Nordic walking sticks designed for all-season fitness. Made from lightweight aluminium, they weigh 1.38 lb. per pair and can support users up to 225 lb.

Each pole is 2 sections and adjustable, making them suitable for users between 4'2" and 6'2" tall. The poles feature a locking system, ergonomic rubber grip with wide ledge, carbide metal tip, and pole clip for storage.

We also like that a portion of the proceeds from each sale is donated to breast cancer wellness programs.  This is a great Canadian Company with a reputation for quality and research. They know walking poles.

FAV FEATURES

Urban Poles 4Life are made with high-grade aluminum, meaning they're both lightweight and durable.

They're also pink and silver, which makes them stylish as well as functional. But most importantly, they can help you burn up to 20% to 46% more calories than walking without poles, because they engage your core muscles as you walk.

Plus, they also support your wrist in a neutral position to reduce strain. So if you're looking for a practical gift for a Walker or Hiker, Urban Poles 4Life are a great choice.

HYDRATION | WATER BOTTLES

Finally, don't forget about the importance to stay hydrated - these will always be a popular and welcomed must-have gift for a walker!

We like the new bottles that show how many ounces you drink in a day. It's a good way to make sure you're getting enough water, especially if you're hiking in hot weather.
