I love these shoes. With my job I never know what kind of day I'm going to have whether it be behind a desk all day, working in labs, searching for inventory, etc. Some days I may only walk 1000 steps during the day to upwards of 15,000. These are my favorite work shoes. They are closed toed and professional in appearance. The comfort cannot be beat. The rubber sole offers support while forming to your foot.  This is my second pair. After wearing the first pair almost daily a hole appeared in toe area where my big toe rubbed through the fabric. The only reason I do not give these 5 stars is I actually have to cut these to make them fit ideally. I have a high arch in my foot so support band across the top of the foot is a little too tight for me and the heel rubs the back part of my foot causing a blister. I make three cuts with an exacto-o-blade to offset these problems and then the shoes becomes a dream. I was worried that cutting the structure would cause fraying but these shoes are well made that no one ever noticed my modifications.
My only other advice is to make sure you wear socks or clean out the rubber sole with a disinfectant wipe in you're wearing barefoot. This will help keeps the soles clean and odor free.
