I am a stay at home Mom and have had these shoes for about a week now. The first 2 days I wasn't so sure about them and was wondering if I should have bought a bigger or wider size. I wear a 11 M and have flat feet. By the third day though they were much more comfortable to wear and I was starting to get used to them. Since I have such flat feet anything with a arch feels odd to me at first. I have worn them so far for everything from walking the kids to school to running errands and shopping around town and so far they are very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone.
