I got these for my new walking routine since I didn't own a decent pair of walking shoes. The fit is perfect, with plenty of room in the toe box. They feel great and are sturdy and really grip the pavement. My only complaint is the high back which left me with a blister, which may be my fault for wearing thin socks and not being used to wearing shoes with backs, I prefer mules. Other than that I really like these shoes, they have great support and breathe well keeping my foot cool. Plus I really like the eye catching colors, and am looking forward to putting many miles on these shoes once I break them in. As far as padding they are not as soft as Id like, but then again its a workout out shoe not a slipper. All in all Im very happy with these and will buy more once I wear them out.
