I am a nurse and am on my feet all day long, ten hour shifts.  I researched MANY shoes and have tried out everything over the past 20 years.  I was purchasing a shoe specifically for working all day on my feet (not necessarily for 'exercise' or 'calorie burning', although that comes with the territory being a nurse).  I chose this shoe after reading hundreds of reviews of all the  new shape-up shoes.  I have always been a fan of sketchers, so I naturally did research on their line of shape up shoes.  I really cannot say enough wonderful things about these shoes, and have nothing negative to say about them (they are worth the cost, they really really are)!  I purchased them in brown, which I love.  They are a great looking shoe, and I have received many compliments on the color.  They go with any color, jeans, sweatpants, etc.  I have very painful heel spurs, and wearing these shoes make my heels feel like they are literally floating on air, lacking any other way to describe it.  There is no pressure whatsoever placed on my heels when walking up and down the halls of the hospital where I work.  I believe the shoes might even be healing up my heels.  I have a slightly high arch but nothing extreme, and this shoe subtly comforts and cushions my arch area while relieving 100% of the stress on my heels.  My back feels great, no aches or pains after long work shifts (except from pure fatigue which is normal).  My legs feel great.  Wow, let's talk about cushioning, oh my gosh, PHENOMENAL!!  These shoes have the most cushioning of any shoe I've ever worn.  I would have paid double the price for these shoes (and they were a bit pricey).  In the past I have worn Alegria (LOATHE ALEGRIA--HAD TO LEAVE WORK  TO GO HOME AND GET DIFFERENT SHOES), Birkenstock, Merrell, Nurse Mates, Nike, Asics and many more brands during my nursing career.  I simply cannot say enough positive things about these shoes.  If I had the funds, I would order several more pairs because I am afraid these will end up disappearing just like all wonderful shoes seem to do.  If you are someone who works long hours, mostly on your feet, need cushioning, have sore achy heels, normal to high arches, these are the shoes for you.  I have not yet tried to actually run or fast walk in these shoes, so I cannot give a review on that, but I imagine with the rocking motion involved with these shoes, they would give a great workout.  Oh size.  I normally wear a size 7 wide. I ordered 7-1/2 and they fit my wide foot perfectly.  I believe if you have a very narrow foot, you need to order your regular size and might have to wear thicker socks.  A 'normal' to wide width foot fits into these beautifully.

Invest the money, buy the shoe for comfort, you will not regret it!
