These shoes are extremely comfortable even for summer wear in sunny South Carolina. The insoles are supportive, and the shoe itself is made of a stretchy material that has never rubbed my feet. I've worn them sockless on a number of walking tours on vacation, for walks around the neighborhood, and to teach on my feet all day. I've found them to be a perfect fit.
They also clean up well in the washing machine. My daughter borrowed them for a muddy adventure not long after I bought them, and I thought they were ruined. A quick spin in the wash, and they were as good as new!
