I didn't think I'd be able to love a shoe this cheap, but they are so comfortable - like wearing knee socks.  The heel height does keep them from being an "all day wear" if you'll be on your feet for hours at a time, but they have good arch support, and I have taken a mile walk in them & stood around at a cocktail party in them for a few hours with no issues.

With a decent amount of wear, there hasn't been any tear.  I'm really impressed.
