OK, so these aren't the cutest shoes in the world, but they sure are comfy. I was looking for a versatile shoe I could wear walking all day on an upcoming trip overseas. I wore them on a heavy walking day at home and they were great! Extremely light, good support. I have achilles tendinitis so something that doesn't support my heel will have me in agony by the end of the day, and these didn't at all. If you so desired, you can pop out the included insole and insert your own. I tried it with a couple different sets I have and they fit very well. I did have a bit of friction on the top of my foot from the strap, but not to the point of getting a blister or abrasion.
