I'm a nurse who is constantly on my feet.  By the end of a long shift I never have to worry about my feet hurting me. These have been my one and only sneakers for several years now! I tried Nurse Mates in nursing school and was not happy with them at all. I love the cushioning in these sneakers much better. They are so light weight and comfortable I forget I'm wearing them!  More like slippers than sneakers for sure!
