I'm in my 60's and have generalized arthritis, especially in my feet. So I need shoes that are very comfortable and cradling on my feet. These shoes fill the bill. They are airy, comfortable, light and they embrace my feet in such a comfortable way. However, if you're going to be doing a lot of walking, these are not the shoes. They are not supportive like walking shoes, but are perfect for running around and doing errands. As driving shoes, they rock! They're expensive (but on sale here right now). Even so for me they're worth it. I'm ashamed to say how many pairs I have ordered over the past year. Not because they have worn out, but because I want more colors, and sales are frequent.
