I walk my cat everywhere with one of these and they're great. It's a struggle getting it on but once I do, he gets excited for his walk.
The secret to walking a cat is to let them go where they want, within reason of course (which is what the harness is for). If you try to force them to stay on a path like a dog, it's never going to happen. They will sit down and protest. They will take you on a adventure but it's a fun way to see the places the cat wants to go. And if they protest too much anyway, a gentle tug on the leash should get them moving again because no cat wants to get dragged. (If they keep sitting down it's time to end the walk.)
Edit: Obviously this won't work for every cat, but if yours is always trying to sneak outside, they'll likely be receptive to walks once they get used to the harness.
Edit 2: They should be walked for at least an hour minimum, ideally several times a week, if not daily. This is especially true for indoor cats (and all cats should be indoor cats if you care about your local small animal population).
(By the way, get them a harness with a lot of padding. I replaced the one in the first photo cause it was digging into their skin . And sorry for the shitty image quality. The lens was scratched up and my hands are shaky. I got a new phone after taking these.)
