When I first got my new job, I needed a shoe with great arch support since I was going to be working 12 hours. These shoes did not disappoint. Like other reviews have said, they do tend to run small. But after a year of 12 hour shifts, I'm only now having to replace them AND I'm getting the same kind. Never would I have thought my feet would feel great after a long shift. (I work at a county jail, so I'm on my feet a lot) Yet they do. I would recommend them in a heart beat.
