My husband is the pickiest person about shoes and he has the weirdest feet that always hurt- he works 7 days a week on concrete and before these shoes his feet were always fatigued, sore, and he could hardly walk when he got home- we had tried Sketchers shape ups for work (149.00), every athletic shoe known to man, crocs, and 2 kinds of work "boots" supposed to be good for when you are on your feet and none worked.  We got these and the box itself is very cool- then we saw the shoes, the leather is the sofest I have ever felt and they are so nice- they make sure you walk heel to toe, naturally.  After wearing to work, he loves them and his feet haven't hurt at all.  He wasn't too keen on the price but I talked him into them and I am so glad I did- 200 is alot for shoes but not if they are worth it and to us, they are!  Finally we found a shoe that works!
