I have been wearing these full time for about a month. I bought these to replace the ultra-comfortable ASICS Gel-Foundation Workplace shoe that, in a fit of corporate insanity, ASICS discontinued. The Propet Commuterlite Walking Shoe is not quite as comfortable as the Workplace, but close enough that I can walk two miles with my sensitive feet and not feel discomfort. I don't believe the shoe has any gel in it, but the thick dense-foam insole seems to cushion well. The leather uppers are of much higher quality than the ASICS shoe, and the overall appearance is a full grade higher. The Propet leather uppers keep their new appearance much better than the Workplace. The shoe is lighter and less bulky than the ASICS Workplace shoe. By the way, the Commuterlite does NOT have that upturned rubber bumper at the toe as shown in the photo. It looks nicer without it.  I WISH PROPET WOULD MAKE A VERSION WITH A GEL CUSHION (that's me 'yelling' at Propet) -- which would make it superior in comfort AND style to the Workplace shoe. For people susceptible to foot pain, the added cost ($10?) for gel in the heel and sole is utterly irrelevant.
