This is the second pair of this style that I purchased, so I do recommend them.  I would like a bit more padding, but the shoe is quite comfortable for walking my 3-5 miles a day on an indoor track.  I don't know whether they would be equally comfortable for running, or how they perform on pavement.  I like that they come in a variety of colors and that they have an adequate number of eyes for the laces to fit snugly or to adjust.
