These shoes are really well-constructed and if you are on your feet all day at work give these a try. There are no internal structures that gouge your ankles or pinch your toes like many similarly priced shoes. I trusted the Amazon community reviews and they came through. I have long-suffered with uncomfortable work shoes because I refuse to pay $100 or more knowing that even at those prices sometimes comfort is sacrificed for style. Not here. These shoes are truly slip-resistant and hold up even in oily or wet conditions. Unless your chosen vocation is rodeo clown, I think you will find these shoes hold up no matter how much normal wear and tear you give them. From toe to ball to instep and heel these shoes feel great and give my feet the support they need to avoid aches, pains, bunyons, etc!  Thanks AVIA and AMAZON. Thank you from the bottom of my feet!
