My 77 year old feet don't approve of much in the way of shoes anymore so it's a searching game to find shoes I can wear for a few hours without whining a lot. These were different. I hardly think about my feet much with these on. I was amazed at how comfortable they are despite being "fabrique en china". I didn't have to order a size bigger or smaller to be sure to get the right size at all. I ordered what I normally wear; length and width. Perfect. Great shoe! Thanks.
