I don't understand what all the hoo-ha is about -- that these shoes are so great and comfortable.  When my pair arrived I found them to be rather large for size and tending to allow my heel to slip out.  They are a rather flat/wide shoe by my standards, and have next to no arch support.  I didn't think the cushioning was impressive either.  But people's feet differ.  Some seem to like them better than I did.
