I have had several of the past models of the kayanos, then eventually switched over to some nursing clogs, Brooks, and Solomans. I do love these shoes! I have been wearing them almost daily, rotating between these and my Solomans. The support is great, and I can't roll my ankles in them. I also like the extra cushiony heel. They keep my feet comfortable all day. I also love the hot pink, and I get many compliments on them. I have noticed that the gel seems to be squashed already from daily wear, and I haven't even had them for a month. However, the only reason I can tell that is because I purchased another pair in a different color and can tell a difference. Also, they are somewhat tight in the toe box at first. Overall, happy with this shoe. Still not as comfortable as my Solomans, I think those will forever be my favorites.
