I bought these at the last minute for a trip to europe because the weather changed and there was a lot of rain in the forecast and I wanted a back up pair of shoes as I do not like wearing wet or damp shoes.  I wore these on the second day and to be honest I never went back to what I used to think was my most comfortable pair of walking shoes.  I walked miles and miles in these shows and they were so comfortable, my feet did not hurt at the end of the day and I just fell in love with them.  These are a fantastic pair of shows, they held up very well and I did not have any issues with wet feet either.
