    1) Soft Inside
    2) Cushion
    3) Ankle Support
    4) Well Ventilated
    5) Light ( Not a must but definitely a bonus)

    Excellent advice.

    I wish to add one thing. The rubber outsole must have good grip!!

    Thank you so much! ^_^ Yes and not just good grip, make sure the grip is bi-directional, because some rubber sole have poor grip at certain angles.

    The most recent popular rubber outsole design is the hexagonal which has good grip is all directions :)

    Great tips! For me flexibility of the sole is important too.
