Comfortable footwear for daily dog walking?

I am looking for suggestions. I have a pair of great boots for autumn/winter dog walks, but need ideas for something to wear in the warmer weather. I am not talking about multi mile hikes, just something to put on when going out with the dog, around the village, on pavements mainly, for around an hour. I am finding it gets uncomfortable to wear sandals for this as I stride along with the dog and try to get a bit of a sweat up ( me and the dog!) in an effort to make the walk a bit aerobic. The problem is I dislike trainers unless worn in a gym. Anyone give me recommendations?

I endorse Hotter shoes and have stacks of them. I have also acquired a pair of Skechers Go Walk shoes and a pair of their trainers too. Both very comfortable.

I live in Animal flipflops all summer. So comfortable because the piece that goes between the toes is padded fabric. And they come in lots of lovely colours!

I have Skechers and also a pair of Reiker ankle boots that are light as a feather.

However, last week in the Salvation Army shop I came across a pair of Hotter lace ups in a gorgeous shade of sage green leather. Fabulous for summer. No price on them.

Upon asking the price I was told........ anything without a price is £1.
A bargain or what. They are so comfortable.
