So far, I am thrilled with these shoes. I think it's been several years since I found a shoe this comfortable to walk in. My ankles and ball of foot aren't hurting after a long walk, which has been a problem. Honestly, for the price, if they wear out in 6 months I won't be too upset if I have to buy another pair. Strangely enough, the last pair that impressed me this much (10-freaking-years ago) were asics. I just couldn't find a pair with the correct soul anywhere when they needed to be replaced.

One thing: I have slightly narrow feet, but narrow shoes tend to be too narrow. I don't know if feet that fit comfortably in most shoes would be too wide for these or not. So I would suggest finding them somewhere to try on before buying them online.
