I work in an auto parts store. I stand on concrete all day and walk about 5000 steps per shift. These are not the comfort solution I was searching for. The toes scuffed within a week and my feet ache terribly at the end of the day. The insoles in them are thick and would have to be removed to put in something more supportive. So far the stitching has held up and they stay tied throughout the shift, which is better than I can say about some shoes I've purchased. Still looking for the right shoe, though!
