I really like these shoes; similar to Merrell but a bit heavier.  Good cushioning .  I think that it isn't great for my knee problem but seems to be comfortable otherwise.  Good coverage for the right of the foot and covers from the bottom of the little toe down a few inches.  MInd you I am 68 with foot and knee issues.  So I am looking for not looks so much (the are cute though:) as much as comfort and durability.  These have that!
