I am walking between 4-6 miles per day and wanted a good pair of walking shoes but didn't want to pay $100 for them. Had been walking in Turntec running shoes and they were ok.  These shoes are better, however they run a wee bit small. I wear a 12M and my left foot was noticeably cramped. I have had them about 2 weeks now and they seem to be "breaking in", however left shoe is still somewhat tight. Nothing I can't live with, but wish for about 1/8 inch longer. Cushioning is adequate.  If they came in a 12.5 I would give 5 stars.  My next purchase will be the $82.00 ASICS walking shoes as they are 12.5 and the ASICS shoes seem very well made.  My only other complaint about this shoe is that when it is wet they are VERY SLIPPERY on metal plates, grates, painted surfaces, etc.  Could be very dangerous if one is not aware and careful.
