I purchased these shoes based on what I read on the Amazon reviews with the intent of wearing them for long walks. I must say that I am not impressed at all with the comfort level of this shoe. My feet hurt while walking the strip in Las Vegas this week. I ended up wearing my Justin Steel toed work boot instead and they are fabulous. It is sad that I paid this much money for a product that I feel is highly overrated plus the fact they are made overseas now.
