Love these walking shoes!  Had blisters on my middle toes for a week or 2, but all is fine now.  They must bend in a different place on the toes than my other, old walking shoes. I walk 2 miles 5 days a week.  I am 63 years old and needed some shoes that will not hurt my feet.  My walking path is pretty hilly, and these take the hills great.  They look great!!
