I walk a little over three miles everyday on a route consisting of street, pavement and gravel.  These shoes are perfect for my needs.  I have high arches and the shoes provide good arch support as well as a substantial gel cushion for the entire sole.  They are lightweight and overall a very good buy.  So good that after I wore the first pair for a few days I sat down on a park bench and ordered another pair (one of the last in stock) from Amazon using my smartphone.  Not flashy or exceptionally pretty, but not eye catching or loud either. Just a good shoe that does its job well at less than half the price of the newer models.  Highly recommend.
