These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever purchased - and I've purchased a lot of shoes over the years, from New Balances to EarthSpirits to Easy Spirits and back again.  As an IT professional in a healthcare setting, I spend a lot of time on my feet walking around on concrete.  These are the first shoes I've had that my feet did not hurt when I get home after my 8 hours.  To make it even better, I have gotten many compliments on these shoes.  Loved them so much, purchased a second pair for when the first is ready to be retired to off-work wear.  They go with jeans to khakis to my knit pants.
