These shoes are comfortable! I am in the medical field, and I'm on my feet a lot, and I also have spinal stenosis. These shoes really keep my back from hurting, and my feet from hurting. I don't feel fatigued when I get home. People will tell you to spend 100$ and up on Alegrias, or Nurse Mates, but these simple sketchers do the job just fine! They're also cute on your foot!
