I love these shoes. They are great for walking in because they don't make my feet hurt. They have some product in the sole which, while not soft like a pillow, make walking great. I have lots of issues with my feet so I am always looking for comfortable shoes. I only wish I had bought them before my trip to Europe. These shoes are great for walking and they look nice. Now, I need to donate all of my old shoes to charity since they will not be worn now that I have these shoes.
