If you're not gonna totally abuse them, the new Nike Lunar Eclipse 5 is hard to beat for the "average" foot.

(sorry for posting women's colorway, but image fit best here; men's colorway is similar w/ fine dot gradient swoosh instead of speckled swoosh shown above)
It's on the heavy side for a lightweight running shoe, as it provides gobs of support and cushioning, making an ideal walking shoe w/ it's all around neutral characteristics. I do mean walking as opposed to hiking or most off road use where even more overall support is called for. MSRP $135, best I could easily find online is Eastbay at $98 w/ FS. Bonus is Nike+ compatibility. The original Eclipse's were great, then the next couple of revs were a step or two backwards, the 4's got 'em back on track, and the current 5's are Nike's all time best effort (again for the "average" foot; not too skinny, wide, or otherwise misshapen...). Unfortunately, AFAIK Nike doesn't offer a customized version of the Eclipse, like they do for the ever popular Lunarglide series that allows for more/better sizing options to accommodate other than "average" foot variants.
