I bought these for walking around my large college campus, and after two months of wearing them on a regular basis, I can tell a difference in my leg muscles and in my glutes.

First, they are really comfortable. These shoes would be excellent for people who walk a lot and also great for vacations. You do not get foot fatigue in these shoes, even if you are out of shape, you won't feel it while wearing these shoes.

Second, these shoes promote good walking habits, posture, and wearing them makes me want to run (and I am not a runner by any means) the cushion from the sole makes the contact with your foot and the ground less traumatic to your foot if you are running.

All in all they are pretty great. I would suggest intensively surfing amazon for these shoes (different search terms), because I have found price differences that could save you upwards of $30 if you're in the market to buy them.

The only downside is that they are not water-proof, so water will get in and make your soles squeek if you wear them on a rainy day, additionally, they are not good on water, the sole seems to want to slip whenever I step on a wet surface.

In conclusion, these are a good buy, a good product, and I have already purchased more styles of this brand. I really like them.
