This is literally the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned (and really super cute). I bought these for a winter trip to Australia, knowing how messy and muddy and wet it can be down there in winter.  I needed good support, as I have terrible plantar fasciitis, as well has collapsed arches.  Not to mention I had recently turned my ankle and have been nursing that back to health lately.  Ugh. I was so impressed with these shoes. I wore them every single day, by choice, over all of my other shoes, and didn't even take them off during the long plane ride back to the US.  They were that comfortable.  If it weren't summer here in the US, I would have them on right now.  Maybe I'll go turn down my AC...
