As the mom of a little girl with pretty big feet, I always have trouble finding comfortable shoes that fit her perfectly. These have the memory foam inside that makes them extra comfy for everyday use, avoiding foot pain during gym class. My only drawback is the memory foam gets a bit stinky after a while, but that's a problem I attribute to preteen hormones rather than the actual shoe. I believe they won't get as stinky if worn by an adult, just don't forget the socks!
